Elizabeth Hitchcock

Elizabeth Hitchcock is one of three local councillors representing Knightsbridge & Belgravia ward at Westminster City Council.

We spoke to her on Elizabeth Street, described by BelgraviaLDN as one of the prettiest and most instagrammable streets in London!

Most of the time, our local streets are immaculate with several waste collections every week and street cleaners and sweepers also making regular visits. 

The Belgravia Forest School has just completed its second term and is looking forward to welcoming children to experience learning in an outdoor environment at the beginning of the summer term in the next few weeks.

We recently secured funding to pay for several cycle hoops across Belgravia.

We are committed to making Westminster a greener, cleaner and safer city by encouraging cycling, where possible.

Your Conservative councillors recently received complaints about speeding in Belgrave Square. 

Motorists have been using the square as a racetrack and not stopping for pedestrians using the zebra crossing. 

Monitoring development sites across the City remains one of our top priorities in order to ensure that these cause as little disruption as possible. We have recently recruited a dedicated planning enforcement officer for Knightsbridge & Belgravia, Rishma Sangha. 

You may have noticed some extra cleaning taking place around Knightsbridge & Belgravia. This is part of a spring clean of our streets paid for from our ward budget which your three ward councillors have recently approved.

Cllr Rachael Robathan commented,

Knightsbridge & Belgravia Councillors, Elizabeth Hitchcock and Rachael Robathan, recently undertook a detailed and thorough street inspection across our area. 

The inspection was with Senior City inspectors John Whelan and Paul King from Westminster City Council. 

Thirty-six pieces of street furniture were recently given a new coat of paint thanks to your Knightsbridge & Belgravia ward councillors.

Lampposts, railings and other items of street furniture are now looking shiny and new using funds secured by your local Councillors. 

Your Knightsbridge & Belgravia councillors are listening to local people. 

We recently had two applications, one planning and one licensing, that gathered much interest.
