Post Referendum attacks in the West End
You are represented in the West End by three ward councillors, Paul Church, Jonathan Glanz and Glenys Roberts. Jonathan Glanz writes, "My fellow ward councillors and I have been very concerned to hear of acts of hate crime that have taken place across the Ward in the aftermath of the referendum result.
"I, and the rest of my colleagues on Westminster City Council condemn any act of racism, xenophobia and hate crime, and believe that there is no such place for this behaviour in our Ward, city or country as a whole."
At the beginning of July a Swastika was also found in Soho Square, along with white supremacist rhetoric.
"I continue to work with colleagues, officers and the police in order to deal with these issues, and as a result of our work, the Community Cohesion Commission was recently launched in Westminster" continues Jonathan.
"The Commission will act to ensure our city continues to be a place where everyone feels that they belong, whatever religion or none, their background or their sexual orientation."
Fitzrovia in Bloom
Following a busy Street Surgery in Nassau Street, local West End Ward Councillor Paul Church worked with local residents to help them to make a successful bid for Ward Budget, which will pay for new hanging baskets to brighten up our Fitzrovia streets.
Candover Street, Hanson Street and Nassau Street all bid for hanging baskets, all of which were signed off unanimously by West End Ward Councillors.
Councillor Church said: “Many local residents have contacted me to suggest ways of keeping our streets clean and presentable and I was delighted to be able to assist them to ensure our Fitzrovia community enjoys a blooming good summer”.
