Paddington Waterways AGM

Last night, I was very glad to be able to represent us at the Paddington Waterways and Maida Vale Society Annual General Meeting, held at St. Saviour’s School on Shirland Road.

Paddington Waterways is the local amenity society covering the Paddington Basin, Little Venice and Maida Vale and does some absolutely super work on behalf of local residents. As an official amenity society recognised by Westminster Council, the society – run by a group of local residents in their own time – are active in our local community on issues such as planning and licensing. They also led the recent campaign to keep the post office in Clifton Road.

There was a great turnout last night, chaired by our colleague, Cllr Melvyn Caplan from over the border in Little Venice. Guest speaker was Rosemary MacQueen, who heads up the Council’s planning, licensing and transport activities. She was extensively grilled on all of these!

If you would like to get more involved with our local amenity society, visit their website here.
