The Importance of Clean Streets in Westminster - Council Leader Rachael Robathan

Cllr Rachael Robathan is the Conservative Leader of Westminster City Council. She explains how the Council works to maintain clean streets for people living in our City.

One of the things that is most important in Westminster is how we maintain our streets.

We know how important this is for our residents.

So that's why we as Conservatives have kept three waste collections every week for our residents.

We collect 500 tonnes of waste every day. One million collections a week.

And this year we're rolling out food recycling collections across the borough.

And from the end of this year, all of our waste vehicles will be converted to electric.

So not only will we be keeping our streets clean, but we will also be helping to improve the quality of our air.

And also in terms of street cleanliness, we've just introduced as the first London borough to do this, weekend rapid response cleaning in residential streets so that where we have pressure on cleanliness on our streets where people are living, we can make sure that those are clean also.

This is all part of what we do as Conservatives in Westminster to make sure that Westminster remains a city we can be proud to live in.

Watch Cllr Robathan's message above.

Labour is reckless with your money and weak with your safety

Labour is being careless with your money and failing on crime

Monday, 9 March, 2026
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.
