Launching Our Plan for Westminster

Westminster deserves better. After four years of Labour's spiralling crime, dirty streets and reckless waste, that verdict has never been clearer.

It is the conviction that has driven everything we have done in opposition, and it is the principle at the heart of the plan we are publishing today.

To the people of Westminster: we have listened.

Thousands of conversations on the doorstep and through our Listening to Westminster campaign have shaped every page of this plan. And your priorities are our priorities.

Safe Streets, a Clean City and Real Action.

Here is what we are committing to:

Safe Streets. From day one, we will appoint a dedicated Cabinet Member for Enforcement. One named politician, accountable for results. We will target phone theft hotspots, crack down on antisocial behaviour, tackle illegal short-term lets, end the dockless bike chaos, and use every council power available to make Westminster's streets safer for everyone.

A Clean City. Zero tolerance on graffiti. Reliable waste collections, including early morning and evening services. Binding standards for dockless bike operators with real penalties. We will restore the benchmark Westminster set under previousConservative leadership and build on it.

Value for Money. Under the Conservatives, Westminster had the lowest council tax in the country. That was not an accident. We will review every major contract, cut spending that cannot be justified to residents, fight the Family Home Tax, and keep council tax as low as possible for the next four years.

Transport That Works for All. We will fight for an accessible Oxford Street shaped by local people, not handed to City Hall as a vanity project. We will protect bus routes, expand EV charging, and review every major street scheme for its real impact on residents.

Caring for the Vulnerable. From protecting our Outstanding rated children's services to tackling record levels of rough sleeping with compassion and grip, we will make sure Westminster's most vulnerable people are never an afterthought.

Housing, Planning and More. A repairs guarantee for council tenants. Resident led scrutiny. A pragmatic planning approach that backs local business, attracts investment and delivers more homes for key workers.

This is a plan built by listening. And it will be delivered through real action that people will see, feel and experience every day in our city.

Westminster has had enough of Labour's flashy slogans and tired excuses.

On 7 May, Westminster faces a clear choice: four more years of Same Old Labour's spiralling crime, falling street standards and reckless waste of your money. Or a Conservative council that puts local people first, takes crime seriously, cleans up our streets and manages your money with the care and discipline it deserves.

Only the Conservatives can beat Labour in Westminster. We have the team, the experience, and the plan to deliver change.

If you want safe streets, a clean city and real action, vote Conservative on 7 May.
