Across Westminster, local people are concerned about increased anti-social behaviour and criminality.

We joined Regent's Park Councillor Robert Rigby in Marylebone's Dorset Square tonight, to hear first-hand residents' concerns about growing anti-social behaviour locally.

Robert explained,

I'm standing here in Dorset Square, North Marylebone, the southern part of the Regent's Park ward, where residents have recently told us about anti-social behaviour in the area, most notably drug-taking. 

We're working with the local neighbourhood, Safer Neighborhood Team, to negate this issue but more importantly, working with other stakeholders and the police, who are increasing patrols in the area.

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.
