Improving air quality around Marylebone Station

We caught up with Cllr Robert Rigby outside Marylebone Station.

Hello, my name is Councillor Robert Rigby, and I'm standing outside Marylebone station.

We here in Westminster are desperately trying to become carbon neutral.

We're working with residents and the Government to ensure that the trains that come into and out of Marylebone station are no longer diesel, but a more friendly hybrid version.

As I say, working with residents, working with Government to make sure that we achieve that and it becomes a less polluting, more environmentally friendly station.

Thank you.

Local MP Nickie Aiken launched a parliamentary petition on this, which was presented to 10 Downing Street. Read more on her website.

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.
