Hyde Park

We spoke with Cllrs Heather Acton, Antonia Cox and Rachael Robathan about people's concerns over excessively noisy cars.

We joined Hyde Park community activist and council candidate Zaheed Nizar talking with Cllr Heather Action about repairs to broken pavements in Hyde Park ward.

We heard from Hyde Park Councillor Heather Acton about residents' concerns over noisy pedicabs and the need for regulation.

This is a pedicab, which is blocking the way, in fact, it's next to bicycle hangars.

We caught up with community activist and 2022 local election candidate Zaheed Nizar as he discussed Hyde Park's 3D pedestrian crossing with Cllr Antonia Cox.

Zaheed asks

Well, Antonia, this is an interesting zebra crossing, what's the story behind that?

Antonia explains

Community activist and Hyde Park local candidate Zaheed Nizar caught up with Cllr Heather Acton in Connaught Village earlier. Heather explained what steps the local councillors have been taking to improve this part of Westminster.

We are well aware of the trouble Star Street has had with fly-tipping, so we understood why local people put up signs stating that Westminster City Council is watching and will pursue people who dump rubbish.

Councillor Acton met residents recently to update them on the police patrols and investigation of the address. Council officers have helped with landlord details while police have checked on the sex workers’ welfare and continue to work on disrupting drug dealing activity.

We organised for double yellow lines to be added to Archery Close to help prevent inconsiderate parking preventing residents having access to their properties. 

Your Conservative councillors, Heather Acton, Ian Adams and Antonia Cox, wish everyone living in our part of Westminster a very Happy Christmas!

In partnership with the Paddington Business Improvement District, we have delivered a grant of over £55,000 to cut back foliage that blocks street lighting and provides a cover for anti-social behaviour and crime on Sussex Gardens.
