Westminster already faces unique challenges in city management in terms of scale and complexity. We serve a growing residential population of 230,000, a daytime population of closer to a million and Europe’s largest night-time economy. We are the largest centre of employment in the UK, the largest licensing authority in the UK, and the home of government.

Changes in technology, culture, commerce and customer expectations mean that standing still is not an option. Our city will need to learn and adapt if it is to meet its future challenges.

We also recognise that we can’t do this alone. If you have an innovative idea on how we can better deliver your local services, structure space in the city, or help to build united communities… we want to hear from you.

One City Vision

The One City vision sets out Westminster City Council’s proposed direction over the next five years and is characterised by the following programmes:

• Order – covering the street environment
• Opportunity – covering social service, leisure,
  housing and children’s services
• Enterprise – including plans for business
• Renewal – covering the built and natural environment

The One City vision is driven by a commitment to deliver strong united communities where council activities both serve and enable; offering the order that makes city life possible and the opportunity which allows individuals, families, businesses and communities to flourish.
