Hearing St John's Wood frustrations over abandoned ebikes

We spoke to Cllr Robert Rigby, on the doorsteps of St John's Wood this morning. 

Robert reports back on local people's concerns.

Out and about on Saturday here in Regent's Park Ward, talking to local people about their local concerns and the failings of this Labour-led council. 

One of the concerns that keeps on coming up on the doorstep is the dumping of electric bikes, both Lime and Forest, literally just dumped on the pavement.

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.
