Residents & Environment Sub-Committee

Another year has passed and I am glad to say that as a committee we have been able to get a fair amount of smaller items attended to in both the Westminster and Camden areas of Covent Garden.

These consist of repairs to roads, pavements, street lighting and street furniture and, where necessary, we have requested rough surface paint to discourage adverts and fly stickers. We have also been instrumental in getting trees replaced and new trees planted, and bollards and signs repaired and replaced. Several walkabouts with Council officers from both Westminster and Camden have taken place and more are to come this summer.

We have finally begun some larger projects too, such as Westminster Council's decision to adopt our idea to site pissoirs in the West End to discourage our streets being used as open lavatories. This will include the Covent Garden area with seven trial designs being put out this summer. Hopefully, this will be followed up with more next year. This idea has been passed onto Camden Council, who we want to encourage to follow suit.

We are also working on the noise pollution and vibration caused by air conditioning and ventilation plants sited and sometimes attached to residential properties, mainly behind restaurants and offices. This problem is probably bigger than we so far know.

Our more ambitious projects need more time so it is important that we carry on the work we've started and carry on receiving support from the local community. We are always glad to hear from you about your environmental problems and are always delighted to hear from anyone who wishes to help.
