Westminster council
Westminster Council is currently addressing concerns about drug dealing and anti-social behaviour, while also reviewing licensing and financial performance.
In November 2026, a Westminster councillor highlighted residents' distress due to open drug dealing and anti-social behaviour in Vincent Square, calling for tougher action. The council's Licensing Sub-Committee (3) also considered a variation to a premises licence for Aulis, and the Shareholder Committee reviewed the financial performance of council-owned companies.
In October 2026, the Discretionary Housing Payments Review Advisory Panel considered requests to review decisions to refuse payments. The Value for Money and Innovation Policy and Scrutiny Committee scrutinised the Council's Fit for the Future programme in September 2026, alongside digital updates.
The Audit and Performance Committee is scheduled to meet in November 2026. Westminster Council is the local government authority for the City of Westminster, London, responsible for providing a range of services to its residents and businesses.
