St Marylebone Girls' School

School Visit

Cllrs Rowley and Scarborough joined Nickie Aiken MP to visit St Marylebone Girls' School, where they met with Chair of Governors Eliza Thompson and Business Development Director,  Deborah Loades.

Together we saw the fantastic new science labs being refurbished with the support of Councillors and the Marylebone Forum monies from the Community Infrastructure Levy. Hopefully these up to date ultra modern labs will encourage more girls to take up science.

The school also told us of how grateful they were to have air purifiers to get rid of pollutants in all the classrooms. These were funded through the Council's Clean Air Fund, through which generous local people may choose to pay an additional voluntary Council Tax contribution. This initiative was established by Nickie Aiken when she served as Leader of the Council.

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.
