ST JOHN’S WOOD LABOUR ACTION REPORT – May 2022
News from your Westminster Labour Councillors
Dear Resident
I hope that all is well
As you will know, Westminster City Council has a Labour majority for the first time ever and we are busy working to improve services and the environment for residents.
It has been a hectic few weeks getting to grips with my new responsibilities as Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality, which includes waste collection, recycling, highways, parks, cycling, walking, trees and air quality.
One of the issues on which I am keen to get residents’ comments is the introduction of the new food waste recycling collection service.
I would be very grateful if you could let me have your comments on the new food waste recycling collection service, as well as any comments you have on the general waste and recycling collection service.
Here is some other general information which I hope you find of interest
Waste/recycling collection and street cleaning
Waste/recycling collection and street cleaning schedules for all streets can be checked at:

Recycling small electrical appliances
Any household electrical and electronic item that operates on a battery or has a plug and is smaller than 60cm in length and under 30cm in width and height, can be put in an on-street small electrical appliances recycling bin.
