Independent Consultation Institute brands Mayor Sadiq Khan's Police Station Public Consultation 'the worst in 2017' - an ideal case for judicial review!
Nearly 2,000 local residents' have signed a petition calling on Labour Mayor of London Sadiq Khan to ''think again'' after he decided to close Belgravia Police station - leaving just one 24 hour Police station in the whole of Westminster at Charing Cross.
Local Conservatives branded this 'idiotic'. Knightsbridge & Belgravia Council Candidate Elizabeth Hitchcock commented: 'Our Council Leader Councillor Nickie Aiken and GLA Assembly Member Tony Devenish are leading the charge to shame Labour London Mayor Sadiq Khan, post the terrible rise in terrorism and other crimes in London to really think again, to stop the closure of our local Belgravia Police Station'.
Londoners across our City are especially worried that the public meetings to ''consult'' on Police Station closures have been a tick- box exercise - a joke - a complete sham - with Police officers being forced by the Mayor of London to go through a routine to ''consult'' when decisions have already been taken. The London Evening Standard raised this concern as long ago as last August. The Mayor may face a judicial review if any of our residents' wish to finance and organise!
Clean streets remain at the heart of our City of Westminster - compared to Labour Camden where upmarket areas have had waste services cut to fortnightly only

Local councillors working to tackle the blight of Airbnb short term lets
Councillor Rachael Robathan said 'the last few years have seen a sharp increase in the amount of short term lets across Knightsbridge & Belgravia and we are dealing with escalating complaints of waste dumping and noise nuisance, in particular. We are doubling our efforts to enforce against this and, also, lobbying Government for more powers to deal with those short term lets which cause a nuisance to the area.'
Putting a stop to car idling
At the request of residents, we are organising anti-idling campaigns in Montpelier Street and Ennismore Gardens. The #DontBeIdle campaign asks drivers to turn their off their engines to improve air quality and save lives.
