We spoke to Cllr Robert Rigby, on the doorsteps of St John's Wood this morning. 

Robert reports back on local people's concerns.

Out and about on Saturday here in Regent's Park Ward, talking to local people about their local concerns and the failings of this Labour-led council. 

One of the concerns that keeps on coming up on the doorstep is the dumping of electric bikes, both Lime and Forest, literally just dumped on the pavement.

Dockless bikes’ parking chaos

Despite reassurances from the Labour-led Council, dockless bikes continue to run riot and block streets and pavements across the city. The council has introduced new parking spaces for dockless bikes and e-scooters last year, but it is clear the scheme is not working.

Cllr Tim Barnes on LBC: "There never was, there never will be" a ban on standing up for a Drink

Saturday, 8 August, 2026
Asked whether the council was trying to ban vertical drinking, Cllr Barnes was clear: "No, of course not. That would be a silly thing to do. It would be completely against everything that we have publicly said we're setting out to do... There isn't, there never was, there never will be a plan to ban standing up in a pub in Westminster to have a drink."
