A new dedicated taxi-only rapid electric vehicle charging point has been installed at Warwick Avenue tube station.

Howley Place and Park Place Villas (between Maida Avenue and St. Mary’s Terrace) were resurfaced at the end of February. We also arranged for a section of Warwick Avenue between Clifton Villas and Formosa Street to be resurfaced.

For many residents who live in flats, the big black bins that are located around Little Venice ward are an essential part of their daily lives. Because of the high level of demand, these bins are emptied three times a day, seven days a week.

Westminster Matters: An update from Cllr Nickie Aiken, Leader of Westminster City Council

It has been an incredibly busy time since I last updated you on the work of Conservative-run Westminster City Council.

Sadly we continue to see an increase in the number of rough sleepers on our streets. Westminster attracts more than the next four boroughs combined. Being the “capital of the capital” has always meant more people bedding down on our streets.

At the end of 2018, your Little Venice Councillors organised a meeting with local residents, the police, City of Westminster College and City West Homes.

Following a series of break-ins to a number of narrow boats on the Little Venice canal, Cllr Caplan organised a meeting with the local police and the Canal and River Trust. This was preceded by a walkabout along the canal to review the security of the site. 

With Victoria Coach Station needing to relocate over the next few years due to leases expiring and Crossrail 2, Transport for London (TfL) has been considering alternative options and is focusing its attention on Royal Oak.

A significant planning application has been submitted to construct a new building at the Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy in order to increase the number of pupils.

Works have commenced at the Parsons House podium site to construct a new block which will provide 60 new homes of which 19 will be affordable flats.
