Barbara Arzymanow

Barbara has lived in Westminster for over 35 years and knows how much difference a strong voice can make. As a Ward Councillor she has worked residents and many organisations on issues associated with air-quality, public protection, public realm and planning. She has taken up the role of Deputy Cabinet Member Children’s Services, Schools Finance. This will be helped by the expertise she gained holding various Healthcare finance roles at director–level for several decades. Coupled with a period of around 10 years when she had served as Governor of two maintained Westminster schools, she is well placed to work constructively with the outstanding OFSTED-rated team in Children’s Services. She looks forward to sitting on the licensing committee and has been pleased to take up opportunities to bring the community together.

Don’t be a crime victim!

It is unfortunate but inevitable that malevolent actors find new opportunities in Covid-19, to scam vulnerable people who may be thrown off-guard by these exceptional circumstances. Please be aware that it is now even more important than ever to watch out for the techniques used by scammers.

Social Distancing in Parks and Squares

Our ward is fortunate in having three garden squares. However, residents using these green spaces should bear in mind the current risks to themselves and others of touching anything (e.g. gates and handles) as they come and go.

Keeping the City Moving: Traffic

Sharing the space: One of the many challenges arising from Covid-19 is the need to re-imagine the public realm so as to balance competing priorities.

Keeping the City Moving: Business

Conservative-controlled Westminster Council is keen to support small businesses through to a full recovery. Small businesses are the lifeblood of a local community, and this is as true in Bryanston and Dorset Square Ward as anywhere else.
