Pimlico South

We spoke with Cllr James Spencer, Cabinet Member for City Management, in Pimlico. James explains

In Westminster, we have the lowest council tax in the country.

And with that lowest council tax, we have some of the best services going.

We caught up with local Councillor James Spencer in Pimlico Gardens and heard about the exciting plans to revitalise the area. It's important that local people get involved and suggest ways in which the Gardens could be improved.

We spoke with Cllr Murad Gassanly about exciting plans for new sheltered housing for Pimlico. 35 new one-bedroom flats for those most in need should be completed by 2025.

Murad explains

Whilst the vast majority of dog owners are responsible and pick up after their dog, a minority are not. This is why your local Conservative councillors have pushed for more signs to be places around Pimlico warning people that they will be fined if they don’t clean up after their dog.

Your local Conservative councillors have successfully secured both a short-term and a long-term upgrade to the Dog Park in St Georges Square.

This year there has been a marked reduction in anti-social behaviour associated with fireworks on Halloween and Bonfire Night, and the days leading up to them.

Churchill Gardens estate remains one of the safest in London with low levels of crime. However, persistent anti-social behaviour (ASB), acts of vandalism and nuisance remain a concern.  

Cllr Gassanly invited the outgoing Lord Mayor Cllr Jonathan Glanz and Lady Mayoress to the Churchill Gardens Residents Association 70th anniversary celebrations on 28th August. 

Cllr Gassanly is working with the local police and Westminster Council’s ASB teams to address the recent increase in anti-social behaviour across Churchill ward. 

Residents in Westmoreland Terrace and Peabody Avenue complained about cars speeding down Turpentine Lane in both directions. 

The narrow alleyway is one-way only but it was felt that street-signage was inadequate.
