Gully Replacement on Sutherland Avenue

A collapsed main due to a Thames water pipe going through the drain pipe run was discovered on Sutherland Avenue. This has been a persistent issue for some time and was identified to be replaced.

Warkwick Avenue part resurfaced

As we mentioned in an earlier newsletter, your local councillors made a request to resurface Warwick Avenue between Clifton Gardens and Harrow Road. The section between Clifton Gardens and Blomfield Road is now completed with the remaining section to Harrow Road planned for later in the year.

Fly-tipping and dumping

We're cracking down on fly-tipping in Little Venice. The number of penalty notices or warnings issued against deliberate, illegal fly-tippers has increased by 150% since this time last year. If you spot fly-tipping in your area, get in touch with us or report it here.

Housing for All

Westminster needs more homes, this is why your Conservative run council has an ambitious plan to build 2000 new homes in our city.

An New, easier to use Website

Since the election residents have been telling us about the frustrations they have with the Council’s website and online services. We agreed with them and dedicated an entire cabinet portfolio to improving our online offer.
