🗳️ This Thursday is your chance for change in Marylebone and across Westminster.

💙 We have listened and have a plan: Safe Streets, a Clean City and Real Action from day one.

🥀 Labour's record of decline: crime up, streets dirtier, £27 million wasted, council tax projected to soar.

🫵 In 2022, we lost Westminster by fewer than 100 votes. Every single vote counts this Thursday.

💪 Only Conservatives can beat Labour in Westminster. A vote for anyone else lets Labour back in.

📍 Polls open 7am to 10pm this Thursday 7 May.

🔷 Make your vote count. Vote Barbara, Ian, and Karen.

👨‍⚖️ Here in Marylebone and across Westminster, the verdict on four years of Westminster Labour is clear: managed decline, higher crime and millions wasted.

❌ Crime is up, streets are dirtier, £27 million wasted, council tax set to soar by 75% and Oxford Street surrendered to Sadiq Khan.

🥀 Keir Starmer. Sadiq Khan. Westminster Labour. Same Old Labour failure at every level.

💙 Westminster Conservatives have a plan to deliver for local people.

✅ Safe streets with serious action on crime. A clean city to reverse four years of decline. And value for money so every pound counts.

🔷 On 7 May, deliver your verdict. Vote Conservative.

We were invited at very short notice to take part in a pre‑election hustings organised by the Marylebone Association.

Unfortunately, serious concerns were raised about how the event was arranged — including a lack of transparency, unclear organisers, and the event being advertised before we had agreed to take part. After careful consideration, we concluded that taking part would not be fair or appropriate.

Rather than attend a hustings conducted on that basis, we’re doing what we always do: speaking directly with residents across Marylebone, answering questions properly and on a fair footing.
We’ve set out our clear views on key local issues, including:
✅ Opposing the transfer of planning powers away from Westminster
✅ Standing up for residents against traffic chaos from Oxford Street plans
✅ Tackling pavement‑blocking e‑bike parking through real enforcement

If you’d like to speak with us before the election, we’d be delighted to hear from you — in person, by phone or online.
Your voice matters. Let’s talk.

💙 Barbara, Ian, and Karen welcome the green light for the Conservative-funded Fleming Centre at St Mary's Hospital!

💪 £5 million committed under the last Conservative Government is now being put to work inspiring the next generation of world-changing inventors, right here in Westminster.

🦠 Named after the discoverer of penicillin, Dr Alexander Fleming, this landmark centre brings together Imperial College London and Imperial NHS Trust to fight antimicrobial resistance.

🤝 This is what a Conservative plan looks like: listen, invest and deliver.

🗳️ On 7 May, vote for a council with a plan. Vote Conservative.

🔺 Here in Marylebone and across Westminster we've suffered from four years of Labour. Four years of rising phone snatching, robbery, shoplifting and disorder on our streets.

✂️ Sadiq Khan has cut 1,700 officers. Disbanded the Royal Parks Police. Removed school officers.
❓ And Westminster Labour? Too busy giving themselves 62 per cent pay rises and wasting £27 million of your money to notice.

🥀 Labour's Westminster: higher crime, weaker enforcement, no consequences.

💙 We have a plan for Safe Streets. If elected, we will:

💪 Appoint a dedicated Cabinet Member for Enforcement from day one
💥 Target crime hotspots
🚲 Fine and impound abandoned dockless bikes

🌳 Only the Conservatives have a plan to tackle crime and deliver safe streets in Westminster again.

🔷 Vote for Barbara, Ian, and Karen, vote Conservative on 7 May.

⬇️ Licensing Update from your Councillors

🛒 Aldi: Your Councillors look forward to the opening of Aldi on Edgware Road with a few additional conditions. Aldi agreed to limit opening times from 7 am to 11 pm (Tesco were much later), there will always be a minimum of one door security, and all spirits within the premises shall be secured behind locked cabinet doors to which members of the public will not have access.

🍕 Basilico: Your Councillors represented residents at a Licensing Hearing to oppose the extended hours for later deliveries to Sunday to Thursday: 23:00 – 01:30; Friday to Saturday: 23:00 – 02:00 of this pizza delivery business in Crawford Street. The owner wanted the later hours to support their customers. Although the extended hours were granted by the committee, all three delivery riders working after 23:00 will wait inside and use electric bikes only.
