Businesses and organisations from across Westminster recently came together for our annual Sustainable City Charter Showcase, sharing ideas and practical action to help tackle climate change 🌎

The Sustainable City Charter brings together over 130 organisations that are committed to reducing carbon emissions, sharing best practice and helping the city achieve net zero 🌳

The showcase was an opportunity to celebrate progress, learn from businesses already making positive changes and inspire other organisations to make better use of their resources, by reusing and repairing ♻️

By working with businesses, communities, and residents, we can work towards a cleaner, greener and more sustainable city 🏙️

We're asking residents for their views on potential changes to Westminster's Council Tax Support (CTS) scheme.

The council is facing a £100m reduction in government grant funding over the next four years, meaning difficult decisions are needed to make savings and balance the budget.

We're considering introducing a minimum contribution to the CTS scheme for working age people. We want to understand how potential changes could affect different households.

Have your say by midnight on 12 November:👉 counciltaxsupport.commonplace.is
