A day great community events. First the Soho Fete then the WECH Summer Festival




Delighted that Mary Paterson nursery will benefit from this new round of the Greener Schools initiative.
NEW: An extra 10 schools will benefit from lower energy bills thanks to new funding from GB Energy to expand @MayorofLondon’s Greener Schools initiative. That brings the total to 48 London schools saving up to £15,000 a year on their energy bills ⚡️☀️
Chancellor Rachel Reeves will unveil a £500m fund to help thousands of vulnerable children today. Chief Secretary to the Treasury @darrenpjones says it will give young people 'tools to get out of structural poverty.' trib.al/B3WrC9E 📺 Sky 501
Really delighted that the Government has listened to Westminster and London Councils by confirming new powers to regulate e-bike hire schemes like Lime and Forrest will be in the bill- something we need in place as soon as possible.
🔄 The great power shift begins today. For too long, Whitehall spreadsheets decided your area's future. Not anymore. The English Devolution Bill puts YOU in control: 🏗️ Speed up housing delivery 🗳️Stronger neighbourhood voice 📈 Local growth plans that work
20 years ago four suicide bombers detonated devices near Aldgate, Edgware Road & Russell Square stations, killing 52 & injuring hundreds. We remember the victims, survivors & bravery of bystanders & emergency services. I will be at St Paul's Cathedral for a special service.
Twenty years on from the 7/7 attacks, we remember all those whose lives were lost and those whose lives were changed forever. We honour the bravery of the first responders, and the strength of the survivors. Those who try to divide us will always fail.
We're launching big plans for the West End: ✅Refurbed Regent Street with new cycle lanes & removed central median ✅Huge, new traffic-free space on Regent Street St James ✅Two-way traffic on Haymarket ✅Triple the pedestrian space at Piccadilly Circus westminster.gov.uk/news/westminst…
Boosting the supply of social rented homes has always been a priority for @AngelaRayner and me. We are today announcing that 60% of our 10-year £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme will be for Social Rent.
Chaired by the LGA Net Zero Board Chair Cllr @AdamHug, with the Minister for Climate Kerry McCarthy MP @KerryMP, the Local Net Zero Delivery Group open session discusses the role of #LocalGov to drive forward net zero action at the local level. #LGAConf25
Really good to see the Government getting to grips with the issues with the Building Safety Regulator to ensure decisions are taken more swiftly and collaboratively gov.uk/government/new…
📢Come work with us! The FPC is looking to hire a Policy and Parliamentary Affairs Manager 📍Location: London 📆Applications Deadline: 20 July 2025 🌐Details & more info: fpc.org.uk/about/working-…
Great team out in Lancaster Gate today 🌹 Making sure residents know that if they vote Conservative here, they end up with Reform ❌
This is a really much needed step forward and it is critical that this comes in as soon as possible.
Pedicabs should be a fun & sustainable way to travel, but without regulation some drivers behave unsafely & charge extortionate prices. Our consultation shows Londoners agree with us that regulation is needed - we'll be bringing this in ASAP. tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/tfl-press…
Westminster Tories try to shut down debate on Council’s Selective Licensing scheme to protect private renters and abstain on the vote because it seems they can’t agree whether they support it or not (they opposed it when they were in power)
The Tories have been moving to the right over the last few years as they try to respond to the rise Reform. Now Laila has taken the plunge will she be the last local Tory to switch before or after the election next May? If you want to stop Reform then vote Labour.
