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.

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 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.
