Thank you to all of those residents who attended our two most recent street surgeries on Gatliff Road and Ebury Square

It was a great opportunity to hear a range of issues and we and the Officers who attended are following up all of those.

For some time residents in Knightsbridge and Belgravia and the Knightsbridge Association have been raising concerns about the length of time the scaffolding was in place around this site and the advertising screen erected on it.

As in previous years, a maypole was erected in Knightsbridge and Belgravia, Orange Square for the St Barnabas School annual celebrations to celebrate St Barnabas.

The crowd was treated to maypole dancing, singing and musical performances by the children.

In Knightsbridge and Belgravia a new public realm space is rapidly taking shape on Grosvenor Crescent. Secured by condition as part of the refurbishment of Forbes House on Halkin Street, this area has bench seating and a water fountain, perfect for refilling water bottles. 

Thank you to all of those residents who attended the Knightsbridge and Belgravia Councillors' two most recent street surgeries on Gatliff Road and Ebury Square.

It was a great opportunity to hear a range of issues and we and the officers who attended are following up all of those.

A consultation has been launched on the draft neighbourhood plan for Belgravia, which has been developed by the Belgravia Neighbourhood Forum, working with local residents and businesses.

Anyone living, working or studying in the City of Westminster is encouraged to ask the Council about any matter of concern.

We caught up with Cllr Rachael Robathan, the leader of the Conservative Group at the Council, to understand what this means for local people.

It is now three months since Westminster City Council introduced food waste recycling across the City as they are required to do by the Government. 

The next Knightsbridge and Belgravia street surgery will be on 17 May at 11 am outside Sainsbury’s on Gatliff Road. 

The following week, 24 May, we will be in Ebury Square, adjacent to Fountain Court, at 2 pm.

The Councillor team in Knightsbridge and Belgravia recently said goodbye to PC Dave Alford who has served in the Metropolitan Police for the past 21 years and with the Knightsbridge & Belgravia Ward since 2016.
