Angela McConville has been appointed as the new chief executive of Westway Development Trust - the charity that oversees the development and regeneration of land under the A40 flyover in North Kensington, London.

Based at the Trust’s headquarters in Ladbroke Grove, Angela’s key role will be to renew the charity’s vision and strategy to put Westway on the London map, by enabling a community where local people and businesses want to live, work and play.

McConville has prior experience in economic development, specifically in helping to transform communities, through her chief executive role at Westminster-based ‘Vital Regeneration,’ a charity she helped set up.

“The land and area surrounding the Westway is full of character and heritage. More importantly, it belongs to the local community,” says McConville.

“We have ambitious plans for the future, that include creating world class health and wellbeing facilities, vibrant arts and cultural events, plus life-changing learning and work opportunities.”
