Westminter City Council

The vision of Westminster City Council is to promote the image of “One City”. A city of strong communities and exceptional services. A city characterised by tolerant and active citizens where the council maintains order, offers opportunity and supports innovative businesses.

To do this, the Council has set itself four objectives, which range from offering new business opportunities to leisure initiatives and the renewal of the city’s streets and parks.

There are 200,000 residents in the City of Westminster, 49% of which are white and 39% are from black and minority ethnic communities (BME). By focusing on this rich diversity of community, the Council aims to give people the opportunity to play a fuller role in city life.

With the challenge of realising “One City” the council is setting about getting to know its customers, the services they want and asking when and how they want to be served.

For external suppliers, each outsourcing contract has a diversity clause to clarify and manage expectations for both parties.

As an employer, Westminster focuses on diversity and inclusion as part of its overall leadership strategy and has in place a comprehensive learning and development programme.
