500 homes to be given to homeless under Sadiq Khan's plan to eradicate rough sleeping Woman breaks down in tears in front of mayor as she tells of the terror of being forced to live on the streets and wait for help

Too often, people are only able to access support once they’ve already spent a night on the streets.


We’re changing that.

Our new plan will remove the need for someone to be verified as rough sleeping before getting help, putting prevention at the heart of our response.

Double standards much.

Boycott Eurovision.

Thank you Dave, this means a lot.

In view of my experience of Westminster’s housing services over many years, I can confirm that this is a real achievement, one to be proud of and one that makes a profound difference to residents.

RSH publishes regulatory judgements for 11 social landlords The Regulator of Social Housing has today published regulatory judgements for 11 social landlords.

Today's C1 judgment for Westminster Housing is a great achievement for @begumliza.bsky.social and her the whole team.

It was great to welcome the Cabinet Member for Housing @begumliza.bsky.social and Peabody’s Director of Operations to our TRA Walkabout. Residents raised key issues including ASB, repairs, and fly-tipping. Peabody listened intently—now it s time for action. #TachbrookMatters #Pimlico

I am so very sad to hear about Gillian. We collaborated closely volunteering for Westminster Mutual Aid during the early stages of the pandemic. She was incredibly generous and devoted to helping others. She made a massive difference to so many, particularly those needing advice on financial aid

Great news Nilton.
