A SERIES of events are being held to inspire people to take part in the Love Acton campaign.

As part of the £500,000 town centre improvement scheme, backed by the Mayor of London and Ealing Council, Acton Community Forum is working with residents and community groups to get involved in the campaign.

The forum is looking for a range of designs, some of which will be put on banners and flags, and can include painting, print, photography, graphics or poems of the people, places, character and spirit of Acton.

A series of workshops and talks are being held to help people who would like to take part. They are:
