In addition we are delighted that local businesses are keen for us to use their services and have begun to offer discounts to West End Quay residents. These include hair and beauty treatments at Contrasti and dry cleaning and laundry services.

News from Paddington BID
|
|
|
The re-surfacing of Praed Street is underway, with the first stretch between Junction Place and Bouverie Place already transformed.
The scheme, jointly funded by Paddington BID and Westminster City Council, has already treated private forecourts, which include grease and chewing gum repellant. Below the paving is a waterproof membrane, preventing water from leaking into basements below. The membrane is flexible, so does not crack or break.

What to Do
There have been several incidents recently where residents have been disturbed by noise late at night.
We need to ensure that these incidents are stopped so here is advice on what you can do:
1. Ring your Block concierge, report it to them and ask them to deal with it 2. Ask the concierge to write it in the book for Sunny Uppal to see 3.
If it is a disturbance involving a group then call Paddington Community
police. Their number is 0797 0157 281 and Daniel Carr or Sergeant
Oakes will help 4. If their number is on an ansaphone the Community police advise that you dial 999

Window boxes

|
|
|
| 
Many of the apartments have plants and small trees. We'd like to encourage people to make their balconeis and terraces attractive, so we've asked Demita our in-house garden company for some ideas. They can supply window boxes for your terrace or Juliette balcony. For more details please contact: Richard Thomas 077100 69023.
