Thank you to everyone who signed the petition on Sussex Street Play Area

'Back Our Campaign' Sussex Street image

Thank you to everyone who signed the petition to have Sussex Street Play Area redeveloped into a publicly accessible green space.

Cllr Ed Pitt Ford, a Pimlico North Councillor, presented the petition at full council and this will now be discussed by the cabinet.

Over 100 people backed the campaign.

If the council does decide to proceed with a feasibility study, then a full consultation would take place. 

We will keep you informed.

  • 44% of respondents (including those who did not wish the area to be redeveloped) wanted a peaceful space to be created.
  • 73% of respondents opted for the existing white wall to be removed with 65% of people opting for black railings to replace the wall.

Homelessness and rough sleeping is rising under Labour

The numbers are stark. Homelessness and rough sleeping in Westminster are at record highs and is the highest of any council in the UK. The Labour-led council has allowed this crisis to get worse, with near year-on-year increases, without proper support to help people off the streets. This is the reality of life under this Labour-led Council: distracted by pet projects and headlines instead of helping vulnerable people who really need it.
