Westminster City Council

The council joined the St Mungo's outreach team this week to support people sleeping rough in Westminster during this heatwave ☀️ 🌡️

We’re on the streets delivering life-saving essentials: water, suncream, vital welfare checks, and guiding people to cool spaces 🚰 🧴

This weather can be just as dangerous as the freezing cold. You can help us protect people from the extreme heat.

📱 Spotted someone sleeping rough? Alert Street Link so local teams can find and support them.
🚨 If someone looks seriously unwell, distressed, or in immediate danger, skip the app and call 999.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Cllr Lorraine Dean as our new Cabinet Member for Adults and Health.

Cllr Dean visited Lisson Grove Day Centre to meet residents living with learning disabilities at a cooking class and discuss her upcoming priorities.

She is passionate about providing Westminster's vulnerable residents with the best care, so they can be as independent as possible.
