Delivering a Fairer Westminster

The vision at the heart of our Delivery Plan remains the same – to build a Fairer Westminster that supports and celebrates its communities, led by a council that combines social justice with efficient services.

As part of our commitment to be as open as possible about the work we continue to do, we are publishing our Fairer Westminster Delivery Plan for 2024-25. This sets out what we have planned for the next year and beyond.

We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we know there is still a lot more we want and need to do, and ways of working that can be improved. Most importantly, we will continue to consider and reflect your priorities – our residents and businesses – as we build a Fairer Westminster together.

Fairer Communities

At the heart of our Fairer Westminster strategy is a commitment to reducing inequality. We've supported children and young people with our expanded Universal Free Lunch Offer and school uniform costs, helped our Family Hubs Network provide support to families throughout the city, and addressed significant health inequalities through our Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

Fairer Housing

Although we have made great progress in delivering on our Fairer Housing commitments, including completing 300 Harrow Road, opening new housing service centres and providing more support for rough sleepers, there is more to do if we are to realise the breadth of our ambition.

Fairer Economy

Westminster is an economic engine for both London and the UK, with over 53,000 businesses, one-eighth of London jobs and generating £72bn in economic value. Our ambition is to deliver a strong and sustainable economy, with employment opportunities and inclusive growth that benefits everyone with our Fairer Economy Plan.

Fairer Environment

We’re tackling the Climate Emergency head-on, aiming to be a net zero council by 2030 and a net zero city by 2040. Our Climate Emergency Action Plan is the foundation for our transition to net zero and we’re pushing ahead faster than the national target of reaching net zero by 2050. We’re committed to making Westminster resilient to climate change, especially in more vulnerable communities.

Fairer Council

A Fairer Council is one that listens to residents, ensures their needs are met through the services we deliver and with value for residents and businesses. Whether asking questions at Full Council meetings, attending Westminster Together events, joining our new Residents' Panel or taking part in Citizen Assemblies, there are many ways for you to get involved with your council and have your voice heard by decision makers.
