Greening of Victoria Street

Greening

A survey of Victoria Street took placeto identify potential tree planting sites. The survey shows that the footways are full of electricity cables which makes it difficult to plant trees. 

Cllr Selina Short says “I am going to continue to work on finding a way of greening Victoria Street as it not only makes it pleasanter for those of us who live or work in the area; it also has proven health benefits. There does not seem to be an easy solution which is probably why this has not been done already – however I cannot believe that it is not possible. Cllr David Harvey and I have also met with TfL, to ask about greening Vauxhall Bridge Road. We await their response.”

Labour is being careless with your money and failing on crime

At Labour’s Westminster City Council budget last week, I made Westminster Labour answer for their reckless spending and weak action on rising crime and declining street standards. Westminster Labour has wasted £27 million on a failed housing contractor, self-awarded senior Labour councillors pay rises of up to 62 per cent and are projected to hike your Council Tax by 75 per cent over the next four years.
