Visit to St Anne's Church, Soho

Nickie Aiken, Member of Parliament for the Cities of London & Westminster, was delighted to visit Father Simon Buckley at St Anne's Church for an update on the church’s plans to secure disability access for their gardens in Wardour Street.

The church hopes to persuade Westminster City Council to support its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) application to help fund the project.

Nickie sincerely hopes the Council approves this application.

It’s so important that anyone with a disability or mobility issues can access the gardens, which host many community events, including the brilliant Soho Village Fete, organised by The Soho Society.

Fr Simon also showed Nickie a new community area he hopes to put to good use now that Centrepoint, who were based there for over 50 years, has moved out - lots to look forward to!

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.
