News of the Quarter Westminster Budget: Have Your Say Westminster City Council is inviting businesses across the borough to share their views on the priorities that matter most to the local business community. The Council is expecting that reductions in government grant funding will leave a significant budget gap, leading to difficult decisions needed on future spending and services. If you haven't already done so, Westminster businesses are encouraged to complete the council's survey on its financial challenges and priorities. The survey is open until 5pm on Wednesday 30 September. We encourage Baker Street Quarter businesses to take the opportunity to share their views and help inform the council's understanding of the issues and priorities affecting businesses across Westminster.
