Local Little Venice Councillors Melvyn Caplan and Lorraine Dean are concerned that Labour’s contraflow cycle proposal in Blomfield Road is going to be dangerous at the narrow entry point from Westbourne Terrace Bridge, for unsuspecting pedestrians. 

If you share their concerns, email your objections to [email protected] by 10 September 2025, quoting 8163/CM. Please share your concerns with Lorraine and Melvyn too.

Cllr Tim Barnes explains that just two Westminster wards, West End and St James's, account for 26% of all "small crime" across the whole of London, which he says is exactly why some regulation of venues is necessary. He again pointed to the Mayor's record on transport as the bigger barrier to a good night out, saying Sadiq Khan "keeps cutting the night buses and won't bring in a late-night tube service on Thursdays."
