Councillor James Spencer: at least three Waste Collections a Week for Westminster

We spoke with Cllr James Spencer, Cabinet Member for City Management, in Pimlico. James explains

In Westminster, we have the lowest council tax in the country.

And with that lowest council tax, we have some of the best services going.

And those best services include the minimum of three waste collections we have a week now.

This is a fantastic service across Westminster and we're expanding it by introducing food waste collection across the entire City, right from the north where we've seen recycling rates already go up by about 5% in some areas.

So again, these are fantastic services that we're offering the City of Westminster for the lowest council tax in the country.

Its 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.
