Supporting local businesses is one of my key priorities. I was delighted to help give certainty and a long-term future to Pimlico Road Farmers Market in Orange Square. 

Local Councillor and Churchill Gardens resident Murad Gassanly writes:

We had a wonderful Christmas in our part of Westminster with many events and celebrations across the community. 

The City of Westminster is set to have its first ever Labour Lord Mayor after an agreement by the council’s Conservative and Labour Groups.

When more than 10,000 Pimlico residents were surveyed about the proposed Nine Elms Bridge, 97% of respondents said ‘No’ as it would bring 18,000 commuters through our quiet Pimlico streets everyday. 

You may have noticed that our trees have started to shed their leaves. From 5th November, Westminster City County began implementing its ‘Leafing Plan’.

Conservative led Westminster City Council will insist going forward that six in every ten new affordable homes built in the City are suitable for middle-income families. The policy will apply to the ambitious 1495 new homes the Council has committed to building.

The weekend of 9th – 11th November saw Westminster Council commemorate 100 years since the end of the First World War. As a Council, we work very closely with the Armed Forces supporting a number of initiatives.

Following its introduction in March this year, Westminster Conservatives confirmed earlier this week that its community contribution fund has raised almost £400,000.

I am delighted that Westminster City Councils Cabinet has formally approved a major shake-up of the planning system in our City. This decision shows we are listening to the concerns of local people who have told us that they did not feel as involved under the current system.
