"Ask the Council directly about anything that matters to you" says Cllr Rachael Robathan

Anyone living, working or studying in the City of Westminster is encouraged to ask the Council about any matter of concern.

We caught up with Cllr Rachael Robathan, the leader of the Conservative Group at the Council, to understand what this means for local people.

Rachael explains,

"On the 28th of June, Westminster City Council, for the first time, is allowing the public to participate directly in full council meetings and what that means is that any of our residents can ask a question about issues that matter to them, the area that they live and the communities in which they live.

"They can ask those questions to the Labour administration, which is now running the council.

"So it could be about flytipping in your area.

"It could be about a problem with e-bikes being dumped. "It could be how we as a city are making sure that we deliver enough affordable housing for key workers.

"Whatever the issues affecting you and the area in which you live, this is your opportunity to ask a question directly.

"Make sure you take advantage of this opportunity."

Four times a year, 30 minutes will be allocated to these public questions. Individuals will have up to two minutes to ask a question, and the relevant council Cabinet member will have two minutes to respond. Click the button below or visit the Council's website to find out more.

Homelessness and rough sleeping is rising under Labour

Monday, 16 March, 2026
The numbers are stark. Homelessness and rough sleeping in Westminster are at record highs and is the highest of any council in the UK. The Labour-led council has allowed this crisis to get worse, with near year-on-year increases, without proper support to help people off the streets. This is the reality of life under this Labour-led Council: distracted by pet projects and headlines instead of helping vulnerable people who really need it.
