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.

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."
