Have your say on proposed SuDS in North Paddington 🌧️ 🍃🌳

We're consulting on plans for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) on Maida Vale and Carlton Vale.

But what are SuDS?

💧 Rain gardens
🌱 SuDS planters
🧱 Permeable paving

These features help manage rainwater by absorbing, storing and slowing rainwater. This can help reduce the risk of surface water flooding while creating greener and more attractive streets.

We're looking for feedback on:

✅ The proposed designs
✅ Planting preferences
✅ The SuDS benefits that are most important to you
✅ Other features you would like to see as the proposals develop.

Your feedback will help shape the future development of these proposals. This consultation will be open from 9th November to 14th December.

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
