This morning @Councillorsuzie kicked off the first meeting of City Hall's investigation into grooming gangs in London, an issue of key importance. Susan will continue to push for answers 👇

[Westminster Matters @westminstertory]

The Labour Government's policies are costing Westminster residents £100 million.

That's £100 million that could be spent on our streets, our services, and our communities — and Westminster's Conservative-led Council is holding them to account.

It's critical that Westminster's streets aren't clogged with dockless bikes. Following feedback from residents & businesses we've removed the virtual dockless bike bay on Agar Street which had become a focus for antisocial behaviour & rough sleeper litter. More action to follow!

[Westminster City Council Leader @Leader_WCC]

Glad to hear this morning at Mayoral Question Time that @SadiqKhan will meet me to discuss Oxford Street - I'm writing to him today to fix that meeting. Just been interviewed by @simonharrisitv on standing up for Oxford Street - watch ITV London news tonight at 6pm for the latest

[Westminster City Council Leader @Leader_WCC]

A great @CityWestminster tradition is annual council where the leader and New Lord Mayor are formally appointed. Amid fitting formality it was a pleasure to see @LM_Westminster Karen Scarborough take her seat - she will be a fantastic first citizen for Westminster!

[Westminster City Council Leader @Leader_WCC]

Good to sit down with Katherine Gray from @myldn to talk about Oxford Street and more. I've written to @SadiqKhan office to confirm I'm happy to meet. Catch up with our interview here:

[Westminster City Council Leader @Leader_WCC]

The planned pedestrianisation of Oxford Street leaves basic questions unanswered so I have written to @SadiqKhan suggesting a meeting. We need a scheme that delivers accessibility & works for businesses & residents - my view in today's Evening Standard:

Wishing all our Muslim residents a peaceful and blessed Eid al-Adha.
May this special time bring you joy, reflection, and community spirit. Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating across Westminster.

[Westminster City Council Leader @Leader_WCC]

Deeply saddened by the news a young man has been killed on the streets of our city. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family. 
@CityWestminster appreciates the grief & worry our community will be feeling, & we’ll do all we canworking with police to support residents.

We took immediate legal advice exactly as promised, but the advice was clear, that if action was to have been taken on a JR, it needed to have been taken some time ago. In other words, the failure of the previous Labour administration to seriously review all legal options was what has caused this first hurdle. We continue to look at other legal options to explore how we can thwart the mayor's plans. Attempts by Labour to now try and suggest we didn't move quickly enough after their capitulation to the Mayor, handing over the road without a fight, and failure to explore all legal avenues shows where the real issue was.

Perhaps a moment of humble reflection on the clear message that the residents of Westminster have sent you might be more appropriate. We however continue to stand up for the local people who showed clearly what they thought of Labour and are exploring other legal avenues.

[Paul Fisher @PaulEFishr]

Nope - it’s the mayor who is cutting bus routes for key workers as part of his scheme. We’d much rather keep them.

[Richard Rout @RichardRout]

Day one of the amazing @SuffolkShow - here’s a quick snapshot of some of the things to see today and tomorrow.

[Timothy Barnes @VoteTimBarnes]

That’s a good question and we have looked at that.

While it’s clear that improving traffic flow is the purpose of TfL’s ability to take in the road, they can essentially keep roads once they have them.

It’s another example of the Mayor using powers in ways that were never intended without any moral authority.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

To beat the SNP and back Aberdeen’s North Sea Oil and Gas Industry, vote for @DLumsden_MSP on Thursday 18 June ⬇️

[Cllr Philip Stephenson-Oliver @PhilTory]

We made Westminster Conservative Again!

[Festus Akinbusoye @FestAKINBUSOYE]

The Met Police is shrinking, and with devastating consequences for London.

Nearly 2,500 officers lost since 2024, recruitment slashed, and FOUR entire murder squads - disbanded...because murder's have fallen🤷

Abraham Badru's dad has known me since childhood. I spoke with him today. His family is still desperate for answers. Abraham did the right thing, and was badly let down.

They are right to ask the Mayor of London, "What has happened to our police?" 👇

[Westminster Matters @westminstertory]

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating in Westminster and across the world.

[Paul Swaddle @paulswaddle]

Westminster Labour failed local people at every turn:

- They surrendered OS to Sadiq Khan.
- They voted down our fighting fund to challenge Sadiq Khan’s vanity project.
- And their collusion and capitulation has left it too late to legally challenge Sadiq Khan’s temu scheme via Judicial Review (the deadline for which was 26 May).

However we continue to explore all possible legal options to fight for local people and stand up where Westminster Labour failed

[CLWCA The Two Cities #TwoCities @CLWCA]

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating in the Two Cities and across the world.
