Swaddle slams Labour over inaction on illegal lets

Illegal short-term lets are out of control across Westminster. Noise, rubbish, late-night disturbances, and a carousel of strangers are eroding our community.

Paul Swaddle, Leader of the Westminster Conservative Group, has called out Labour-led Westminster Council for failing to act on illegal short-term lets:

"The people of Westminster have told us the same thing week in, week out: they feel their communities are being hollowed out and nothing is being done.

I pressed Labour on what steps they're taking to enforce the 90-day limit, clamp down on illegal lets and put residents back at the centre of local decision-making. 

Labour’s response? Dodging, ducking, and blame-gaming.

They can avoid the question all they like, the message from residents is clear: do your job, enforce the rules, and stop illegal short-term lets from damaging our communities."

Conservatives will continue standing up for the people of Westminster when Labour won’t because our people deserve better than a Council that looks the other way.

Labour is being careless with your money and failing on crime

At Labour’s Westminster City Council budget last week, I made Westminster Labour answer for their reckless spending and weak action on rising crime and declining street standards. Westminster Labour has wasted £27 million on a failed housing contractor, self-awarded senior Labour councillors pay rises of up to 62 per cent and are projected to hike your Council Tax by 75 per cent over the next four years.
