Contacting the council
If you need to contact the council about anything, you will usually have to contact the relevant department electronically in the first instance. The following list has been prepared with the help of Westminster planning department. If you do use any of these services we would be very happy to hear how you got on.
You might also wish to copy your emails to you local councillor if you feel the matter is very important or you feel the matter is not being dealt with appropriately. If you are in the Bayswater ward, your councillors are –
Maggie Carman (Labour) mcarman@westminster.gov.uk
James Small-Edwards (Labour) jsmall-edwards@westminster.gov.uk
Max Sullivan (Labour) msullivan@westminster.gov.uk
Councillors in the Westbourne ward are –
David Boothroyd (Labour) dboothroyd@westminster.gov.uk
Adam Hug (Labour) ahug@westminster.gov.uk
Angela Piddock (Labour) apiddock@westminster.gov.uk
Notifying the chairman of the Labour group has also been effective in the past.
