THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE POWER OF LISTENING

Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where little things can have a huge impact on people’s lives.

Take Mitin, our Head of Estates Services.Mitin’s team is responsible for cleaning, gardening and bulk refuse removal across several housing estates where many of our residents require a greater degree of assistance.It’s not just about keeping our blocks and estates shipshape, it’s about human contact and letting residents know that we care.

Mitin’s team contribute to our Smart City commitment and make full use of new technology to help track and solve problems such as fly tipping and graffiti. But what many residents value most is his ability to listen. For example, when residents were telling him about carrying out gardening improvements and the positive impact that it has on their wellbeing, he and his team engaged with residents, working closely with them to give them garden areas they could be proud of and a vibrant community.

Mitin is immensely proud of the relationships he’s built with residents, not only because it helps them feel proud of where they live in a greener and cleaner city, but because it makes him proud of where he works.
