Roads and Footways
The City Council takes care of the maintenance of much of the footway and highway in Westminster. The links on this page provide information on some of these maintenance services and an opportunity to report any problems you may encounter
Drain Cleaning Schedule
The Council's policy is to clean all 14,000 drains in the city at least once per year.
Pavements
We look after 420 miles of footways. Help us to keep them in good condition by reporting any potholes, defects in the pavements or street furniture.
Report a street problem
Please use this service to tell us about any problem on the streets.
Safer Streets Initiative
The City of Westminster has an obligation to all pedestrians to maintain a safe and free passage on the public highway.
Street cleansing services
Keeping a 24hr city clean is a 24hr job. The Clean Streets waste collection, street cleansing and recycling contract is our strategy to do just that.
Street lights
We look after street lights in Westminster, including illuminated street furniture like traffic signs, illuminated bollards and belisha beacons.
Traffic lights
TfL Street Management Division is responsible for traffic lights and signals on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) and Westminster City Council has responsibility for the remaining network.
Trees
Our Tree Section manages all Council-owned trees in parks, squares, open spaces, streets, schools, cemeteries and properties administered by the City Council.
