Air Quality Action Day in St John’s Wood

Air Quality Action Day

Your councillors arranged for an Air Quality Action Day held in St John’s Wood on 14th November and were joined by local people and air quality marshals who engaged with drivers about the harmful effects of engine idling.  

The day is part of Westminster City Council’s #DontBeIdle campaign which seeks to raise awareness of the harmful effects of engine idling and persuade drivers to turn off their engines while stationary. 

As James Hewitt, a leading component of air quality here in NW8 said ‘this initiative is welcome as we try hard to tackle air quality and climate change which is considered by residents across the Borough as their number one concern’. 

You can find out more about the campaign online on the Council's website.

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.
