City workers and residents Q&A with Councillors in Ward of Cheap

On 20 March City workers and residents in the Ward of Cheap came together for the annual Wardmote – a historic meeing of citizens in the City of London. This was a chance for the local team of Common Councillors to give an update on our teamwork to keep the City and Cheap safe, vibrant and competitive. Local businesses, City workers and residents asked a wide range of questions from support for homeless people, to cycling, SMEs and how we can revitalise Cheapside. Great turn out and good to see wider community – including members of the Ward of Cheap Club participating.
