Regent's Park

No one wants to be the victim of crime especially financial fraud, so it was good to see the local police safer neighbourhood team (SNT) out in the community offering valuable advice to local people on tips to protect against fraud as well as bike theft.  

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee maybe behind us but the memories live on and no more so than the ‘St John's Wood Platinum Jubilee Bring Your Own (BYO) Picnic’ held in the St John’s Wood Church Gardens on Sunday 5th June. 

Senseless Thugs have vandalised a beautiful fountain located at the junction of Allsop Place and Park Road. 

The incident at the water fountain, which took many years to renovate and bring back to life was reported to us by residents in Chalfont Court located next to it. 

Thanks to your local ward Councillors; anyone walking along the Regent’s Canal will notice the Lisson Grove tunnel and stairs has finally been reopened! 

Several residents living in Queen's Grove contacted your local councillors about a gazebo canopy which had been erected outside a dentist practice.

When a resident contacted your Councillors about a number of uneven and broken pavements, we arranged to meet with a Highways Officer and inspect the areas in question.  

Last week saw the highest single degree of senseless graffiti when one road (Park Road) within the ward was targeted with street signs, a telephone box, waste bins and a bus shelter all hit.

The St John’s Wood High Street is a much-loved asset in NW8 and wider community but like most High Streets continues to change and COVID accelerated the pace of change.  

Ralu Oteh-Osoka is standing for election to Westminster's Regent's Park ward. We met her outside St Edward's Catholic Primary School. 

I'm here outside St Edward's Catholic Primary School, one of our fantastic primary schools in Regent's Park ward.

No one likes to see graffiti on our streets as it is unsightly and attracts unnecessary attention. Recently your local Councillors noticed graffiti had been sprayed on a street sign on Dorset Square and an electric box in Baker Street,  both were removed within a few days of notification.
