Big black bins – magnets for anti-social behaviour? Take them away

Bins

In some parts of our Vincent Square neighbourhood, such as the Cathedral Piazza and Carey Place, big black bins have become magnets for antisocial behaviour and drug dealing. Our excellent local police team have been working on these problems too, with arrests. And, after consulting neighbours, your Conservative councillors have removed those bins.

So, if you have a problem with street bins, we would like to know so we can find a solution for you. Some of these bins are essential for rubbish collection and that’s why we need your views.

Its time for Safe Streets in Westminster

Under Labour, crime has got worse. Phone theft, antisocial behaviour, public disorder and drug dealing have all increased. People think twice before using their phone on the street. Shopkeepers have accepted shoplifting as a daily reality. Families avoid their local parks. And schools have lost community police officers. All under Sadiq Khan’s watch as Westminster Labour have overseen managed decline.
