Dance Westminster

Dance Westminster

One of your local councillors, Cllr Iain Bott, second from the right arranged a special event to celebrate those with disabilities in the City of Westminster.

The event was called 'Dance Westminster', and saw three auditions across the city where 10 hopefuls were shortlisted and took part in the grand final in January.

Judges included Wayne Sleep OBE, Paralypic athlete Mel Nicholls, and actor and dancer Francesca Mills. There was not a dry eye in the house. We are hoping this becomes an annual event.

BBC London: Westminster Council calls on the Mayor to support Soho businesses

Cllr Tim Barnes explains that just two Westminster wards, West End and St James's, account for 26% of all "small crime" across the whole of London, which he says is exactly why some regulation of venues is necessary. He again pointed to the Mayor's record on transport as the bigger barrier to a good night out, saying Sadiq Khan "keeps cutting the night buses and won't bring in a late-night tube service on Thursdays."
