One year ago, a new administration was elected to Westminster City Council. Since then, we’ve been listening to residents and have published our Fairer Westminster strategy. Some of the things the council has delivered over the last year include (https://www.westminster.gov.uk/year-delivery) :
* launching a £14m cost of living support strategy
