Westminster
Westminster is collaborating on a regional fostering hub and managing London's highest number of Temporary Event Notices.
Westminster, a London borough, is one of eight London boroughs participating in the Foster with West London Regional Fostering Hub, a collaborative initiative to recruit foster carers and support children in care. Harrow Council reaffirmed its commitment to this hub in May 2026, which aims to address the national decline in fostering homes and improve family life for children.
Regarding event licensing, a report to Hackney's Corporate Committee in March 2026 noted that Westminster recorded the highest number of Temporary Event Notices (TENs) in London for 2025. This surge in TENs reflects a trend of stabilising numbers since the end of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
