Responding to news today of a 40% increase in rough sleeping across Westminster, Cllr Paul Swaddle OBE, Leader of the Conservative Group (Opposition) said

A 40% increase in people sleeping rough across Westminster in just one year!

Clearly, the Labour Council is not tackling the issue of rough sleeping and tents in our city. 

Damning for a Council that has had the levers of power for nearly three years.

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.
