Water fountain restored

Fountain

An Edwardian water fountain, dated 1903, in the southern part of the ward where Park Road meets Allsop Place, has been restored and connected to the water mains. This restoration was led by Westminster City Council with help from Transport for London (TfL) who agreed to take on its maintenance and servicing. As Cllr Rigby, who worked on this project for a number of years, commented ‘it is great to see this stylish and attractive fountain which had fallen into disrepair back in working order and I am sure it will be welcomed by local people and visitors alike’.

BBC London: Westminster Council calls on the Mayor to support Soho businesses

Cllr Tim Barnes explains that just two Westminster wards, West End and St James's, account for 26% of all "small crime" across the whole of London, which he says is exactly why some regulation of venues is necessary. He again pointed to the Mayor's record on transport as the bigger barrier to a good night out, saying Sadiq Khan "keeps cutting the night buses and won't bring in a late-night tube service on Thursdays."
