About UB1UB2 News

UB1UB2 News covers Southall, Hayes, Hounslow, Ealing and the towns around them in West London. We report what's happening on our streets: crime and court cases, fires and crashes, transport, councils, new openings and closures, and the people and events that make the area what it is.

Most of our stories start with something a local has filmed or told us. Where there's an official account, from the police, the fire brigade, TfL or the council, we use it, and we say when something hasn't been confirmed. We publish first on Instagram @ub1ub2, and every story is kept here with the date and time it went out.

What isn't news

Paid partnerships and adverts for local businesses are not news, so they're left out of this site. Our own adverts for the UB1UB2 Card are taken out of the stories here too.
