Become a Walk Leader - Next free training course on 27th June

We are hosting a Ramblers’ Wellbeing Walks Training that can allow you to host community walks for all, exploring parts of the city that may be unknown to many. Once training is complete all you have to do is commit to hosting a walk within Westminster but you can make these as creative as you like, why not start a bird watching walk, a dog walk, a bug walk or even a photo competition. It’s entirely up to you!

You will be required to complete a shadow walk and e-learning prior to the face to face training.  

This will take place at Paddington Recreation Ground on the 27th June 2023 from 10-1pm.

Limited places are available so be sure to book as soon as possible!

Book your place by emailing us on the button below with your name and contact number..

We are striving to make buildings across Westminster more accessible to residents and this is the last addition to our other same facilities at Paddington Recreation Ground and Church Street Community Leisure Centre.
 
These new facilities are supported by the recent launch of our WelcoMe platform which enables residents to plan their visit to leisure centres, libraries and the Council’s buildings by advising venues prior to arrival of any specific requirements or adaptations required.

Pimlico Gardens Public Consultation – Next Phase Coming Soon

by

Pimlico Gardens - Next Phase of the Consultation

The analysis of the online survey, the first phase of the consultation, has now been finalised and we are getting ready to engage further with the local community to discuss any proposals.

There is limited provision that caters to the diverse needs of residents that live in the vicinity of the Pimlico Gardens. There was a proposal of a few new developments that were consulted using the online survey, offering new provisions, including a toilet block, viewing platform, allocated space for play and exercise and a café /facility serving refreshments as well as an option to hear other ideas.

We are working now on the next phase of the consultation in which we will organise several engagement sessions in the coming months to share and discuss proposals with the community.

We will publish all the details and confirm dates on our Have your say page.
