Sadiq Khan , the Mayor of London supported by the new Labour City Hall administration are planning to cut and make changes to numerous bus routes across London (up to 78 in total will be affected). 

Summer hanging baskets should shortly be installed along several road and streets. 

Your Abbey Road Councillors convened a walkabout this week with our local Westminster City Inspectors, Local Neighbourhood Co-Ordinator and their Council line manager. 

Thanks to your local ward Councillors; anyone walking along the Regent’s Canal will notice the Lisson Grove tunnel and stairs has finally been reopened! 

When a resident contacted your Councillors about a number of uneven and broken pavements, we arranged to meet with a Highways Officer and inspect the areas in question.  

Air quality remains the number one issue for local people and as a result we are seeing an increase in cycle usage and ownership of bikes however with this we have also seen more bikes being abandoned.  Recently we had removed an abandoned bike in Wellington Place and Aberdeen Place.

The St John’s Wood High Street is a much-loved asset in NW8 and wider community but like most High Streets continues to change and COVID accelerated the pace of change.  

We all seem to receive more cardboard boxes than ever but how do you break them down? Well, your Conservative Council have introduced new letterbox cardboard and paper bins which are currently being trialled across the Borough. 

Your local Abbey Road Conservative Action Team recognise not everyone wants or can cycle but for those who do, we aim to provide secure and well-located cycle parking.

It is always amazing to us that local dog owners go to the trouble of bagging up their dog's excrement, but then dump their little parcels in the footwells of local trees along our footpaths.  

THERE IS NO DOG POO FAIRY!  PLEASE BAG IT AND BIN IT.
