MHS Air Quality Action

Air Quality Action Day

Air Quality is a top concern for everyone living or working in Westminster.

Your Councillor Karen Scarborough, (fourth from left) as Lead Member for Air Quality, joined Cabinet Member Heather Acton and Bryanston & Dorset Square Councillor Barbara Arzymanow in an Anti Idling action day at Marylebone Station. 

Interestingly, this was instigated by Chiltern Railways, who are taking the issues of air quality very seriously. Whilst Marylebone Station is not in the Marylebone High Street Ward, air quality knows no boundaries! We are continuing to hold Anti Idling days across our City to raise awareness and change behaviour.

New lamppost signage, promoting our anti-engine idling message to stationary drivers, is being installed at 200 hotspot locations throughout Westminster. 

The eye-catching green signs will remind drivers to ‘cut your engine, cut pollution’ and complement the efforts of City Inspectors.

Labour-run Council belatedly tries to distance itself from the Labour Government’s proposed planning reforms

Westminster Conservatives are delighted that the current Labour council has finally publicly agreed with the Conservative councillors’ position on Angela Rayner’s proposed planning reforms. This Labour Government has proposed completely removing local councillors from the decision-making process on almost all applications. Westminster Conservatives pointed out that this is undemocratic and could undermine public trust in planning decisions back in March.
