Cllr Tim Barnes is the local Westminster councillor representing the West End. We spoke to Tim ahead of his regular surgery on Saturday.

"Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Christmas and you've had a good start to a new year. But if you haven't, if you've got any kind of issues that you want to raise, my first surgery of 2025 will be at 10 a.m. at Sacred Grounds, Dean Street in Soho, as usual, on the first Saturday of each month.

"I'd love to meet any of you who've got issues you want to raise, questions you want to ask; residents, businesses or anyone else from Soho, Marylebone, Mayfair, Fitzrovia, any part of the West End. It would be lovely to see you and to start 2025 with a chat.

"No appointment needed - Just say hello!"
