Westminster City Council is the local authority serving the heart of London. The City of Westminster stretches from Pimlico and Victoria in the south through the West End, Marylebone and Bayswater to Paddington and Queen’s Park in the north-west. It includes the capital’s principal areas of government, shopping, entertainment and tourism and the headquarters of innumerable commercial and professional organisations together with extensive residential areas of all types.

The resident population now stands at approximately 255,000 but it is estimated that about 1 million people set foot in Westminster at some time during the day. There are also tens of thousands of people who live in the city for short periods or on a part-time basis who are not included in the permanent resident population.

The City Council employs about 4,800 staff who work flexibly over a number of office and site locations, almost all of them within the city boundaries.

Westminster City Council employs 700 waste management staff which on a 24/7/365 basis collect 200,000 tonnes of waste and recycling each year, sweep and flush 10,000km of streets every week, remove 22km2 of graffiti and flyposting and clear up around 700 tonnes of litter after major events.
