Planting new trees

Siddons Lane

The Bryanston and Dorset Square Ward Councillors have contributed towards the target of planting 3,000 trees in Westminster by the end of 2020, by securing funds from the Council and liaising with The Portman Estate. The Ward has also benefited from additional tree planting as part of the Baker Street 2 Way project.

For anyone who would like to attend, there is a tree planting ceremony at 11.30am on Friday 10th May 2019 with Mark Field MP and The Portman Estate on George Street between Montagu Square and Gloucester Place – every tree counts!

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.
