Regent's Park Councillor Paul Swaddle on the importance of recycling to Westminster residents

We spoke to Regent's Park local Councillor Paul Swaddle about the importance of recycling to Westminster residents.

Here in Westminster, we think that recycling is vital and that's why we provide centres like this across the City.

We have many here in Regent's Park ward and we're also rolling out food recycling and that will enable people to recycle up to as much as 30% of their household waste and we can use that to produce energy.

We're going to use that energy to power our new all-electric fleet of waste collection vehicles.

A first-time innovation for anywhere in the UK!

It's time for Safe Streets in Westminster

Under Labour, crime has got worse. Phone theft, antisocial behaviour, public disorder and drug dealing have all increased. People think twice before using their phone on the street. Shopkeepers have accepted shoplifting as a daily reality. Families avoid their local parks. And schools have lost community police officers. All under Sadiq Khan’s watch as Westminster Labour have overseen managed decline.
