Securing Funding for Community Projects

Adventure Hub

Paul, Gotz and Robert are always happy to work with local community groups to secure funding from the Council.

In the past we have supported bids from local groups and we are always happy to hear from local people or groups about any local project they feel needs our support. During these difficult times if you have any thoughts then please do get in contact. In the past we have secured funding for the hanging baskets on the High Street; St John’s Wood Society’s air quality project; places for local children from low income families to attend the Adventure Play Hub and painting classes. If you have a local cause that needs a little extra cash especially at this challenging time to benefit the area then get in touch.

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.
