Cllr Tim Barnes shares 'Diary of a local West End Councillor'

We caught up with local West End councillor Tim Barnes, earlier this evening. 

"Good to be getting back into the swing of working on the issues residents of West End care about. 

"This week, I have been looking at planning applications in Mayfair and Soho, managing the needs of local cafes and the disastrous impact of the Mayor's unthought-through plan for Oxford Street, which also saw me appear on BBC London News! 

"If you have an issue and would like to see me, come to my Councillor Surgery, 10am Sat 2 Nov at Sacred Grounds, Dean Street W1."

Help hold Westminster's Labour Council to account

At Full Council meetings, members of the public have a unique opportunity to directly question the Labour administration on issues that matter most to you. We've observed a concerning trend: a tendency to fill these vital public slots with pre-arranged, 'easy' questions. This silences the genuine concerns of our community. That's why we need your help to ensure real issues are heard.
