Hamilton Court: New Recycling Facilities

Earlier in the Autumn, I visited Hamilton Court and had the opportunity to speak with the Board of Management.

As local Councillors, one of the things we always try to talk about is recycling - and we put forward a proposal to Hamilton Court to allow recycling facilities to be offered to all 44 flats in the property for the first time. After a few months of discussions between Hamilton Court and the Council's Recycling team we are delighted to report that the new bins have been delivered and are in use. Already, a quarter of Hamilton Court's flats are reported to be using the new service - a brilliant result.

I'm a massive believer in 'action not words' on issues like recycling. Loads of people wax lyrical about the need to do something for our environment but it is the small steps like the ones Hamilton Court have taken that make the difference. Combined this with the increased facilities in Castellain Mansions, Wymering Mansions and Essendine Mansions over the last year or so and Maida Vale is leading the way in increasing recycling throughout Westminster.

Many thanks to the Board of Management and everyone at Hamilton Court for being such great sports.
