Westminster City Council Cabinet Member for City Management, Paul Dimoldenberg, has announced that he is standing down as a Cabinet Member.

The decision comes ahead of Cllr Dimoldenberg’s retirement next year - he is not seeking re-election at the local elections due to take place in May 2026. Paul will continue in his role as a ward councillor for Hyde Park.

Having first been elected to the council in 1982 for Harrow Road Ward, Paul has also served as a councillor in Queens Park from 1997 to 2022, as well as Leader of the Opposition group between 1987 - 1990 and again between 2004-2015.

Cllr Dimoldenberg will be replaced on the cabinet by Cllr Max Sullivan, who has been appointed to the role of Cabinet Member for Streets by council Leader, Adam Hug.

Cllr Adam Hug said:

“’I’d like to thank Paul for all of the incredible work he has done in our city. Over many years Paul has been tireless, championing the interests of people in Hyde Park ward and across Westminster. While we wish him well for his upcoming retirement, I’m certain Paul will remain a very active member of his community.

“I’m also pleased to welcome Max to the Cabinet, where he will take on the role of Cabinet Member for Streets with responsibility for public realm, city inspectors, highways, transport and parking, street cleansing and waste. I know he will bring hard work and dedication to the job and, as a keen supporter of cycling and active travel, continue Paul’s commitment to clean streets and green transport.”

The changes will take effect on Thursday 23^rd January.
