Campaigning to Save our Gas Lamps

Historic gas lamp streetlights are precious to many people in Westminster. They are a part of our heritage.

Cities of London & Westminster MP, Nickie Aiken, has led debates, spoken out in Parliament, and taken action to save them.

After Nickie joined forces with The London Gasketeers, Westminster City Council listened to our calls and cancelled its plan to replace most of Westminster’s gas lamps.

However, many remain at risk, so Nickie is continuing to work with local people and The London Gasketeers to Save Our Gas Lamps. Nickie has raised this again with Lord Parkinson, the heritage Minister, and she looks forward to continuing discussions.

At last! Some progress on pedicab regulation

Thousands of local people, along with business owners and tourists, have been calling for the licensing of pedicabs to tackle the rogue operators whose loud noises cause irritation and whose rip-off fares penalise Londoners and visitors alike.
