Pimlico Gardens Public Consultation Now Open

Pimlico Gardens Public Consultation

Westminster City Council is committed to providing inclusive outdoor spaces including community hub environments for recreation to fit the needs of residents. We are inviting all our local communities to participate in this consultation for the proposed new improvements at Pimlico Gardens to better understand the need and desires of the features as set out in the proposal.
Pimlico Gardens

Proposed development
Currently, there is limited provision that caters to the diverse needs of residents that live in the vicinity of the park. We are proposing new developments that would see this space offer new provisions, including a toilet block, viewing platform, allocated space for play and exercise and a café /facility serving refreshments. 

We are inviting all residents who live local to the park to complete an online survey consultation for the new improvements to better understand the need and desires of the features as set out in the consultation. 

The consultation is open until 14th December 2022 and should take no more than 7-10 minutes to complete. Your responses will help us better understand the needs of all members of the community, whether you use this space regularly now or would like to in the future.

ActiveComunities Survey 2022 is now open!

ActiveCommunities 2022 survey is now LIVE!

ActiveWestminster successfully launched the first boroughwide ActiveCommunities survey in 2021…now, it’s back for a second year and growing stronger!

The 2022 ActiveCommunities survey is a great chance for you to share your experience in physical activity, barriers for participation and community wellbeing. If you are over the age of 16 and live, work, study or regularly visit Westminster, we want to hear from you!

By taking part in this survey, you will help us to better understand how Westminster communities engage in physical activity including levels of activity, use of facilities and active travel and barriers to participation. This will help us to direct resources, open up opportunities and inform new initiatives providing support tailored to individual and community needs, helping Westminster to be active and stay active.

The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Everyone who completes the survey can enter into an exciting prize draw for your chance to win a selection of Amazon gift vouchers and redeemable prizes across our leisure centres!
