Street standards in Westminster have been allowed to decline and residents are paying the price.
Westminster Labour’s record is clear on our streets: overflowing bins, missed collections, litter building up, graffiti normalised, and public spaces looking neglected.
Cllr Paul Swaddle says:
I hear it time and time again when speaking with local people. Labour-led Westminster and Sadiq Khan have failed to keep our city clean and our streets safe.
It is not good enough and the people of Westminster deserve better than a Labour council that puts pet projects ahead of basic public space standards.
Missed collections and growing piles of rubbish left for days are not just unpleasant, they're a public health hazard that Westminster Labour have allowed to go unchecked.
The result is simple: it damages our city’s global reputation, shows rules are not being enforced, and lowers the day-to-day standard of the place we call home.
It’s time for a spring clean at Westminster City Council.
Enough of Labour’s excuses and mess: Westminster needs a Conservative Council that gets the basics right and takes street standards seriously.
We have a plan to clean up our City and restore pride in the place we call home.
That starts with a serious approach to enforcement: if elected in May, Leader of the Westminster Conservatives, Cllr Paul Swaddle, has announced he will appoint a Cabinet Member for Enforcement to deliver tougher monitoring, faster penalties, and ensure rules are backed by real consequences.
Our Plan for a Clean Westminster:
- Stronger enforcement on fly tipping and repeat offenders
- Deliver frequent cleaning and reliable collections with clear accountability and quick action when things are missed.
- Higher day-to-day public space standards through better sweeping, graffiti removal and upkeep, so our streets feel clean, safe and well-run.
Westminster should be a place where the basics are done properly, and local people can take pride in their neighbourhood. That starts with leadership focused on delivery.
A Conservative Westminster City Council will deliver Safe Streets, a Clean City and Real Action.
