October Update

There will be an opportunity to raise local issues with the Cities of London and Westminster MP Nickie Aiken, from 12-1pm at St John’s Church, Hyde Park Crescent, on Friday13th October.

Don’t forget to put 11th December, our AGM and Christmas Party at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, in your diary.
The HPEA committee met last week to plan the event, decide  on planning and licensing issues and develop plans for more social events, among other matters. 

Elsewhere, a council consultation is under way on how Wesminster’s evening and late night economy should develop. Take part here:

The electric vehicle consultation is still open  until 11 October. Write to Colin Mant at tmo.westminster@wsp.com quoting reference 8013-03/CM.

The proposals for our area are: for EV fast charging points on the south-west side of Park West Place, outside Park West, replacing
two car club parking bays (12 metres);
(ix) on the north-east side of Sussex Place, opposite Nos. 1 to 23 Sussex
Lodge, replacing two car club parking bays (9.8 metres) ? the car club
parking bays would be relocated to adjacent to No. 9 Gloucester Square,
replacing two pay-by-phone parking bays (10 metres);

and:
(b) introduce car club parking bays
 on the north-east side of Norfolk Crescent, opposite the south-eastern arm
of Cambridge Square, replacing two shared-use parking bays (11.6 metres).

Also, our member Nupur Mehta is asking whether anyone has any experience of challenging high service charges, a common problem in our area. Please email communications@hpea.org.uk if you are able to help.
