Our commitment to a fairer borough
Kensington and Chelsea is a wonderful place to live with amazing spaces and a brilliant mix of communities and cultures. It is this eclectic mix that makes it such a special place.
I am unashamedly ambitious for the people of this borough, we want to give all who live, work and learn here the space and opportunity to succeed. We will always stand up for businesses and families, providing them with support to live their lives how they want to.
Supporting our residents to thrive
Standing up for our communities also means acknowledging that some parts of the borough face profound inequality and deprivation, something that was crystallised by the Grenfell tragedy. Through my conversations with residents over the past seven years, in our communities and on our estates, I have seen first hand the challenges that people face. I believe that no one should be left behind and that this council has a role to play in supporting all our residents to thrive.
Since the Grenfell tragedy, we have focussed on how we can address this, as part of our ambition to be a fairer council and to build a fairer borough. Whether this is our London-leading cost of living support or targeted public health schemes, we are seeing an impact. But tackling deprivation is a generational project, lasting change takes time.
I am determined that this council keeps going. Our ambition to deliver real and lasting change, creating a truly fairer borough in the process, is relentless.
This Fairer Action Plan lays out the steps for how we will do this. It’s a plan that empowers our residents, providing them with the tools they need to succeed and break the cycle of inequality.
It’s ambitious but working together with our residents we can make this borough fairer for all.
