It is even more satisfactory to record that by May of this
year the number of unemployed men had decreased to 1,022.
The majority of the working population are engaged in
employment outside of the district, mainly in London. In recent
years several large factories of a modern character, manufacturing
articles of a varied nature, have been erected in the Greenford
Ward, but the areas developed for factories do not seriously affect
the amenities of the residential areas adjoining.
The many public open spaces situated in various parts of
the Borough, comprising in all no less than 581 acres, do much to
preserve the residential character of the district. In addition,
Gunnersbury Park, 186 acres in extent, adjoins the boundaries
of the Borough and is partly maintained by the Council.
