Consultation on the future of St John's Wood High Street

St John's Wood Sign

The St John’s Wood High Street is a much-loved asset in NW8 and wider community but like most High Streets continues to change and COVID accelerated the pace of change.  

Working with the St John’s Wood Society, Westminster City Council and other stakeholders, funding for a high-quality permanent scheme has been secured which will see widened footways, enhanced crossing points, more greening and a slight increase in parking for the benefit of local residents, retailers, restaurants, and visitors.  

A public consultation is now taking place and will run until 20th April 2022, details of the scheme can be found here.

Labour cut 1,000 police officers in London, breaking their promise to keep our streets safe

Labour’s decisions are making our streets here in Westminster less safe. In just one year, new figures show that London has lost over 1,000 police officers - and that includes officers taken off our streets here in Westminster. Across the country, Sir Keir Starmer has left our police forces with a £350 million funding black hole, forcing cuts and slashing recruitment by 17%. That means fewer neighbourhood officers, slower response times, and overstretched teams who are being asked to do more with less. Forcing our police to pick and choose which crimes they respond to is simply unacceptable.
