Phenomenally proud of our
@KCFConservative
team here in
@RBKC
- hard work, listening to residents and fighting for their values has once again been rewarded at the ballot box.
Also delighted to have been re-elected for Royal Hospital Ward alongside Emma and Elizabeth.
Same story every night in
@SadiqKhan
’s London. Bright red traffic map!
Closing bridges through poor planning or failing to maintain them in the case of
@LBHF
means every day our residents in
@RBKC
have to suffer unacceptable air pollution by diverted traffic.
Open the bridges!!
So...this is the representative of one of the most culturally diverse places in London? Absolutely shocking.
Thanks
@GnasherJew
for exposing her.
@emmadentcoad
Care to explain? Or do we just put this down to par for the course for
@KensingtonCLP
Whilst punching my mugger in self-defence all I could think about was wishing the Mayor renamed the overground.
Later as my wife had her phone ripped from her hands by a thief, I consoled her by saying the Mayor will soon spend millions rebranding a bunch of signs.
#khanout
For the first time ever, our six Overground lines are each getting a new name and colour.
Read more about the inspiration and meaning behind each new name ⬇️
So with Hammersmith closed due to Labour - Wandsworth Bridge closed due to Labour - What does Labour TFL do?
It closes Battersea Bridge for routine maintenance!
Maintenance that could have been done any time!
Inevitably
@RBKC
has to deal with their inability to plan ahead.
@ProfKarolSikora
I have been a keen follower since Covid-19 started. Your tweets and practicable information are so refreshing in a twitter sea of supposition and idle thinking.
Personal responsibility is a core tenant of a free society.
Chelsea is home to the wonderful King’s Road but also used to be home to Queens Road.
Am happy to say, we are
@RBKC
, in honour of Her late Majesty, bringing back Queens Road once more.
Absolutely unacceptable rise in NO2 in
@RBKC
Chelsea site - due to
@MayorofLondon
closing key bridges during the return to work and schools.
Chelsea sensor showing over 90 when pre-corona average was below 45.
Now breathing dirty air because of his decisions.
Open the bridges!
🌇Chiswick Gate in London shows what developments can look like when you put the parking underground and take inspiration from our historically pedestrianised streets and squares.
In times of macroeconomic uncertainty we need sensible and pragmatic policy making.
Only
@RishiSunak
can stabilise markets, strengthen our economy and help us clear the costs of Covid and Putins energy interference.
It’s time to be the sensible
@Conservatives
the UK needs.
Fantastic petitions by
@GregHands
@FelicityBuchan
and
@Tony_Devenish
have saved our historic routes!
Well done to the residents of
@RBKC
for making the Mayor listen!
Further details on changes to route 11 and 211 still to come.
Repairing infrastructure is important - doing it promptly more so!
@wandbc
and
@LBHF
need to work together to get Wandsworth bridge open in under 10 weeks and at the same time allow vehicles to flow.
Come on - Suspend the CAN and take pressure off the historic bridges in
@RBKC
Fantastic support for the great candidates in Chelsea Riverside - Laura, Gerard and Sonia from the
@CFT_UK

Residents here know that twice weekly bins, borough parking and keeping tax down are best left to

For the next two months, we are thrilled to bring to you ‘Court on the Square’, a pop-up bar and café in

. Inspired by the boulevard cafés of

, enjoy a refreshing Pastis or try your hand at a game of pétanque.
#SloaneStreet
I have today written to
@LBHF
about their proposed LTN in Sands End as our Q’s remain unanswered.
Neither
@RBKC
nor our residents have been consulted about the material traffic implications to our roads.
This is a rushed scheme designed to raise fees not to reduce pollution.
Fantastic news!!
Tonight
@RBKC
planning committee voted to approve permission for Sloane Square to continue the al fresco installations for a period of 10 years!
This will keep Chelsea and
@RoyalHWard
firmly on the map!
You could have resigned
@SadiqKhan
and done the honourable thing.
Time for
@ShaunBaileyUK
to come in and clean up your mess.
You took a healthy budget and decimated it and then were hit by the unexpected. Nothing prudent about your entire time in office.
Greg is a true democrat. He fought for what he believed in. When the national vote went to leave, he respected it and worked on solving the border issue.
The Lib Dem’s just sit there with no plan to unite this country, and a determination to overturn the largest vote in history.
I led the Chelsea & Fulham Remain campaign in 2016, and Hugh Grant didn’t lift a finger to help. Neither did the Chelsea & Fulham Labour or LibDem candidates for that matter either.
Looking forward to seeing this electric bin lorry here in
@RBKC
next month. Our diesel bin lorries are a source of emissions I am keen to tackle. Glad to see technology is catching up!
For all
@rbkc
@kensociety
EV owning residents I can thoroughly recommend
@Cleevely_Mobile
-door to door service and street side repairs. EVs are able to be serviced from the pavement! Super efficient!
You do occasionally need to use the brakes though, if only to keep them clean!
On the left a traditional slate tile - on the right a solar slate!
@RBKC
is working hard to bring modern technologies into our homes and products sensitive to conservation areas are a must.
All part of our drive to be net zero by 2040.
Having lived on Oakley Street here in
@RBKC
for a number of years, a few doors down from this blue plaque it was great to visit
@GetUpStandUpLDN
and learn more about Bob Marley’s history.
Brilliant show! Well worth a visit!!
Sadiq will always be a renters’ champion.
Today,
@SadiqKhan
announced 6,000 new ‘rent control homes’ and £4 million in funding to help renters defend their rights.
Well done to
@10DowningStreet
- A British PM walking shoulder to shoulder with an ally against aggression and oppression.
A good moment to remember the sacrifices that make democracy possible.
At a handshake distance.
@BorisJohnson
and
@ZelenskyyUa
walked through the center of Kyiv and talked to ordinary Kyivans. This is what democracy looks like. This is what courage looks like. This is what true friendship between peoples and between nations looks like.
Great to be able to visit
@dott_uk
e-bikes today to see their new and improved ride!
We’re working with operators to keep the
@RBKC
e-bike revolution rolling by providing bays to park off the pavement!
Keeping our pavements clear and our residents active!
Streets are spotless and rubbish is being collected.
It sounds simple but takes huge dedication from our amazing waste team.
Give them a wave when they’re next on their rounds 👋🏼
Thank you to our waste collectors who are maintaining services for our residents.👏🗑
Help them out by making sure you clean bin handles and lids after touching them and take care to separate your rubbish and recycling so collectors can get your rubbish safely.
#londontogether
The hallmark of Conservatism is keeping money in peoples pockets.
Incredibly proud we’re able to fund a rebate to Bands A-D.
Whilst also freezing council tax for everyone.
The
@MayorofLondon
has raised his tax by 9%, punishing Londoners - we won’t be part of that.
Honoured to have been invited to join the remembrance service for the illegal invasion of
@Ukraine
Powerful speeches from the community, now here in
@RBKC
, who have lost so much.
Good to hear also from
@FelicityBuchan
as she pledged ongoing UK support.
Great to be able to help in a small way to make sure tomorrow goes smoothly.
Fantastic to see so many council officers and support staff on the streets of
@RBKC
offering assistance and information.

Having been the victim of an attempted mugging under similar circumstance I am glad to see these people behind bars.
London’s streets need to be safe and the
@MayorofLondon
needs to stop virtue signalling and act.
Two knife-wielding watch thieves have been jailed for seven moped-enabled robberies which left two people injured.
Determined to bring their spree to an end, officers used patrols, CCTV and witness statements to predict their direction of travel before swiftly arresting them.
Great news!!
I have been reassured that our wonderful local hospital
@ChelwestFT
will continue to supply our
@RBKC
vaccine bus for the long term.
Bringing jabs out into the community helps make it more convenient for residents.
Thanks to everyone for sorting out supply!
Our vaccine bus has already delivered 10 first doses of which 9 were

Thrilled to have had my 1st

@sciencemuseum
The vaccines are our route to normal and special thanks must go out to our amazing
@NHSuk
teams across the country as well as all the people behind the scenes making this possible.

Great to have

discussing policing, unlicensed music events and noise and nuisance.
Brilliant to have local ward Cllr

@lionhouse33
as well to provide their own perspectives.
Lots to take away!!
Doing the night shift with
@RBKC
noise and nuisance teams.
Already been to Portobello, Knightsbridge and now heading to Latimer Road.
Busy Friday night! Great to see how this key team work.
Having just visited the

With schools/offices reopening after summer and our mass vaccine centre

closing. We

have to rely on our vaccine bus to reach communities and make jabs easy.
Disappointed to learn there are no NHS plans to supply our bus next week.
Seeking urgent explanation
Great to have been accepted to be an NHS Volunteer - I look forward to helping out at our local vaccination hubs here in
@RBKC
Each jabs gets us that bit closer to seeing friends and family once more.
#protectlivesprotectlivelihoods
Cutting bus routes and services is a regressive step that makes getting around our city more difficult and punishes those with the least means.
@MayorofLondon
must reverse these plans if he’s at all serious about wanting London to bounce back from Covid.
The announcement that
@TfL
plans to ABOLISH routes 11 and 14 is a travesty! Number 11 is one of the oldest in London, starting in 1906. So many residents use this from Fulham Broadway to Liverpool St. The no 14 serves all the hospitals in Chelsea. This must be stopped!
A
@Conservatives
council
@RBKC
working hand in glove with
@FelicityBuchan
gets things done.
Well done to all our residents and our officers for getting this crucial road reopened.
I’m delighted that The Crown Estate are reversing their decision to close Kensington Park Gardens after 1,000 residents backed my campaign to reopen the road.
Working together we get results. Vote for your local champion in Kensington and Bayswater by voting Conservative!
Visiting
@rbkc
should be to have fun and shop not to make our residents lives a nightmare.
Bin your rubbish
Go home when the lights go out
Work with us for a fun summer otherwise we will have to enforce - our businesses need all the help they can get - don’t ruin it for them.
Last night our team had to cancel other street cleaning services to deal with this mess left in Notting Hill after a big, noisy gathering.
Don't trash our streets! ❌
Be smart & be responsible. ✔️
Keep practising social distancing & take your litter home.
Great to see
@FelicityBuchan
has joined
@CEN_HQ
- working with her it was clear that The Environment is an important issue not just for the UK but for her constituents in Kensington.
#cleanergreener
We're delighted that
@FelicityBuchan
has joined the CEN Caucus!
The environment has been a top priority during her campaign - including her calls for more urban trees & green spaces for Kensington.
Great to see more chargers coming soon! With 2 new ones in
@RoyalHWard
.
Thanks
@jthalassites
for such a speedy rollout, as we have now seen a 50% increase in electric vehicles in
@RBKC
over the last 12 months, with many more to come.
This is what we need to see for Kensington -
@FelicityBuchan
can beat the Parachutist no hope Lib Dem candidate and rightly deserves to beat the Marxist Emma Dent Coad.
She will protect our schools, our services and our economy.
#buchanmeansbusiness
Well designed water fountains are a great addition to
@RBKC
- we needn't follow other Boroughs with the cheap and tacky plastic ones. Build for the future - not just today. Great campaign by
@sofmcveigh
E-Bikes are here to stay - but they can pose trip hazards if left on our narrow pavements.
By working with operators we can now stop pavement parking and provide readily available bikes for residents across the borough.
Great to have this electric bin lorry in
@RBKC
- new technologies will help us reach
#visioncarbonzero
- look forward to these joining our fleet in the not too distant future.
Silent operation and no dirty Diesel engine!
#cleanergreener
Starting now with the team a walk of the entire length of Kings Road and New Kings Road from Sloane Square to Putney Bridge, meeting residents and businesses on the way. Come by and say hello!
#GregWalks
Fantastic to see
@CFT_UK
members engaging with
@TurkEmbLondon
to work on earthquake response. Disappointed to have a diary clash.
With over 1,000 Turkish residents in
@RBKC
alone we all have a role to play in rebuilding.
London continues to be harmed with interventions like this.
What even was the brief for this mess? Block the road in the least stylish and useful way possible?
We’re consulting on allowing well designed mansards.
Gently densifying our existing houses with sensible mansards allows families to grow and new homes to be built.
This permission would allow that growth but would require solar and double glazing.
Thanks
@HSBC_UK
and
@RishiSunak
- My Bounce Back Loan arrived in 24 hours.
Now I can plan for the year ahead and provide job security.
One less stress and an easy process.
We need to keep people in their jobs and this is a great scheme to give some headroom.
#bouncebackloan
Great to be using one of our brand new
@ubitricity_uk
sockets with QR code - meaning anyone can pull up and charge. 24p per kw means this full charge will cost me £1.20 for 60 miles....cheaper than a single bus ride and far better for the air.

Great work by

to help revitalise our world famous High Streets. Thank you to
@japanhouseldn
for working with us on this brilliant display of arts and culture
@RBKCculture
Great to attend a vaccine conversation with
@HarrowClubW10
- best way to put minds at ease is to have a conversation with medical experts and familiar faces!
As I leave the
@Conservatives
conference it was great to meet
@andy4wm
and enjoy the fantastic new public realm here in Birmingham.
Great places really do start with the ground you walk upon.
Very happy to say
@RBKC
has backed this piece of work - great to see every Council playing their part.
#visioncarbonzero
I have committed
@RBKC
to follow
@WHO
air quality guidelines already and glad to see other Councils doing likewise
#cleanergreener
Boroughs need much stronger powers to tackle London's
#airpollution
crisis.
It's great that the
#EmissionsReductionBill
- which we've drawn up with
@cityoflondon
- has now been introduced in Parliament, the first step to becoming law.
Great to see
@ubitricity
have over 5,000 plugs now, with over 10% in
@RBKC
.
By leading the way with EV charging, it’s fab that they’ve chosen to name their lamppost plug “Chelsea”
Fantastic to have a bit of Chelsea right across London!
Let’s make Kensington the next model!
Brilliant to be an

air quality guinea pig for Imperial College’s Project INHALE - with a chest and air sensor on me!
If you want to volunteer to help test your local air quality please get in touch!
Poor air quality costs lives!

Protecting and helping our hospitality businesses weather this storm is important to
@RBKC
and we are happy to have so many wonderful businesses here in our borough.
Our innovative seasonal licenses can now be extended until September 2021.
#protectlivesprotectlivelihoods
Today,
@CemKemahli
and I have written to businesses across
@RBKC
- offering them the opportunity to convert Seasonal Licences into Pavement Licences, so that we can keep up our “Al Fresco Revolution”. New licences will run until September 2021.

Great to see these open on High Street Kensington - with positive feedback we could see more of them popping up on other high streets.

Our parklets are officially open to the public! And here they are being enjoyed by Cllr
@CemKemahli
& several others.
Take a seat to enjoy your lunch or take a break from shopping outside 146-158 and 168-170 Kensington High Street. Big thanks to
@MeristemDesign
for installing!
Well put Lucy - it’s great to hopefully welcome you and your powerful story to our council chamber.
We have a large number of residents requiring vehicles, not all who need to display a badge.
Let’s think before we type.
I’m really sad to have received abuse for a campaign photo last night. As a new female candidate in
@RBKC
, who suffers from Relapsing Remitting MS, sometimes I have to travel by car on a bad day, so I wanted to be open about it.
Wonderful to hear that residents in
@RBKC
have started being vaccinated as we join the 500,000 already carried out in the UK.
We have the tools to end this - get the jab - get on with life.
Excited to be appointed Lead Member for Planning, Place + Enviro’t -
@jthalassites
has helped shape this borough and I look forward to build upon his innovative work
Acoustic Cameras
Solar Panels on Listed buildings
Al Fresco Revolution
Just some of his fantastic achievements!!
