Lauderdale and Castellain Road Street Surgeries

This weekend we held one of our regular Down Your Street Surgeries in Lauderdale and Castellain Roads.

A fair few people (unusually for a Saturday afternoon!) were in and were happy to chat to us about Maida Vale and what the Council is doing to improve our area. Most people were very happy with Westminster - and a number were particularly glad for the recent resurfacing in Elgin.

We have a number of environmental, recycling and anti-social behaviour to take up on behalf of Castellain and Lauderdale residents. Some rather tiresome individuals seem to be of the opinion that bicycles locked away, off the road, in Castellain Road are somehow public property appropriate for disposal. Very bad form, and we've made the Safer Neighbourhoods Team aware.

If you live in Maida Vale and have an issue or problem we can help you with, please don't hesitate to get in touch at any time.

Elgin Avenue resurfacing completed

The resurfacing of the top half of Elgin Avenue was completed last week, ontime and (hopefully) with the minimum of inconvenience to residents. We think it's a great improvement!

Success - Elgin Avenue resurfacing underway!

Happiness = new tarmac

The long-awaited resurfacing of the top half of Elgin Avenue is thankfully close to being completed. Westminster Council's Transport Department has been working on this important project for the last couple of weeks, causing a number of adjacent roads to be closed while the surface is upgraded.

Before the works started we were active in lobbying to minimise the inconvenience caused to residents and local businesses. This included securing agreement to undertake the work in stages (rather than the original proposal to close all of the road for an entire week!) and lobbying to have parking spaces returned to use on a rolling-basis rather than at the end of the works.

During the recent election campaign, many residents – both on Elgin and throughout Maida Vale – commented on the bad state of repair of the road. We are very pleased to have been able to deliver on our promise to resurface Elgin Avenue.

Thanks to residents for their patience during the works!

Next target: Kilburn Park Road.
