🏆 Nominate somebody this week.

The ActiveWestminster Awards are open, the council runs them, and they close at midnight on Monday 28 September. Nine categories, spread across clubs, coaches, volunteers, schools and young people.

If you have spent any time at Paddington Recreation Ground you have watched somebody give up their Saturday to run a session for other people's children. The same goes for every group that meets on the avenues and every club that has kept going on goodwill.

One name, two minutes, and they find out later that somebody thought of them.

Elgin Avenue and Shirland Road have generous pavements, which somehow makes a hire bike dumped across one more annoying rather than less.

The council gave councillors its enforcement figures last week: some 700 machines lifted for dangerous parking since April, and a quarter of a million pounds taken back from the firms.

If one is blocking your pavement, a dropped kerb or a fire exit, westm.news/r logs it in a minute and the council goes after it.

Worth doing every single time. That is what the numbers are built from.

Maida Vale marks Yom Kippur from sundown tonight.

Across the mansion blocks and the avenues, households are sitting down to the last meal before a twenty five hour fast, and the streets will be the quieter for it until nightfall tomorrow.

To everyone observing: a meaningful day, and an easy fast.

Anyone with a bike gathering dust behind the front door? Someone will service it for nothing on Church Street this afternoon.

Church Street is given over to Sunday Streets till two, one of this year's London Cycling Festival dates. Alongside the free Dr Bike service there is Westminster Wheels' preloved market, balance bike sessions and cycle skills, plus food, music and stalls.

It is a straight run down from Maida Vale, and one to do with the children rather than for them.

Church Street, until 2pm.

We've listened to local concerns from residents and businesses in Maida Vale and across Westminster about Labour's poorly designed cycle schemes.

In our first 100 Days, we have acted.

✋ Halted and redesigned cycle schemes in Bayswater, Marylebone and St John's Wood
🔎 Put existing cycle lanes under review over congestion and safety concerns
❌ Scrapped 'floating' bus stops from every new scheme

Promises Made, Promises Kept.

In May, we promised Safe Streets, A Clean City, and A City That Works for All.

In our first 100 Days, that is exactly what we are delivering in Maida Vale and across Westminster.

Enforcement is being taken seriously again, street cleaning has been stepped up, and we're restoring value for money after years of Labour waste and mismanagement.

Years of Labour's managed decline is over.

This is real Conservative delivery in action. And there is more to do.
