Notting Hill Carnival advice for Westminster residents

More information for Westminster residents about road closures, bins, ID and other changes over the carnival weekend.

Garden clearance service

If you're a Westminster resident living on the carnival route, you can request a free cleaning service for your garden.

Apply for the garden clearance service 

You can register for this any time up until 11:59pm on Friday 30 August. 

If you register before Thursday 22 August, you will be given an estimated date of when your garden will be cleaned. If you register between 22 August and 30 August, you may not get a confirmation email or estimated date, but completing the registration form confirms your request. 

The service offers the free clearance of event litter only which refers to waste items that directly relate to the carnival, such as food packaging, food items, drinks cans and receptacles. 

The service does not provide for the removal of human fouling from private property, where revellers have neglected to use one of the public toilets provided inside the carnival footprint. Neither does it cater for properties that have used their private land to trade, party, or entertain during the carnival. 

If you would like to arrange a deep cleanse for your basement or paved area, please call 0207 641 6180 for a quote.
