66 @RBKC council officers celebrated 20 & 30 years of service in 2021 - but because of COVID could not be congratulated then. So good to recognize & celebrate their loyal service to our borough and community this afternoon. #longservice

It was a privilege to attend the Exhibition Launch of Every Breath We Take, this evening at Acklam Road, and see brilliant works by artists in North Kensington. So many great examples to choose from, but just picking out one example: Unfinished, by Nikolle Hellis-McIntyre
