The website of the Kensington & Chelsea Chamber of Commerce, which Greg addressed this week. Primarily a networking and social organisation, the Chamber is committed to the promotion and support of local businesses and those doing business within the borough. Members represent a wide and varied range of businesses in both size and speciality, so networking within the Chamber offers real business leads and opportunities.
Greg Hands M.P. commented: If you want to work hard and get on, the Conservatives are on your side. Your taxes will be cut so you keep more of the money youve earned and you wont see benefits increase by more than your earnings. Labour wants benefits to go up by more than working peoples incomes. That isnt fair. The Government is ending Labours something-for-nothing culture.

Askew Road library Avonmore library Fulham library Hammersmith library Shepherds Bush library Free Christmas tree collections and recycling Last Christmas you helped us recycle 50 tonnes of Christmas trees that would have been expensively disposed of if they had been left out with the ordinary rubbish. Christmas trees will be composted and put to good use rather than going to waste. If you have your recycling and rubbish collected in sacks from outside your home, leave your tree in your front garden or outside your property where it is clearly visible from the street and does not cause an obstruction on the pavement, by midday on one of your normal weekday rubbish and recycling collection days from Wednesday 2 January to Tuesday 15 January. Trees will be collected in the afternoon, not at the same time as your bags. Please remember to remove decorations. There are also designated collection points where you can take your trees between the dates above. These include: New Kings Road (on edge of Eel Brook Common) Fulham Palace Road Cemetery (opposite Queensmill Road) Normand Park (opposite Lillie Road entrance) Loris Road Community Gardens Ravenscourt Park (by the football pitch) Wormwood Scrubs Car Park (off Scrubs Lane)

Collections take place twice a week, and as normal on most bank holidays (road signs and local advertising will highlight any special arrangements). If your property has a refuse storage area then you should use it otherwise please leave domestic waste on the street, as near the kerb as possible without causing obstruction. Carefully wrap glass or other items that could cause injury, and label if appropriate. Leave bags for collection before 7am on the day of collection (not the night before). For further details please call streetline on 020 7361 3001 or email: streetline@rbkc.gov.uk. Collection times Collections start at 7am and all domestic waste must be available at this time. It is an offence to put your domestic waste out on the highway/footway other than on the scheduled days of collection, or after a collection has been made. Officers will investigate such offences and sticker bags with a clear message. The bags will then remain on the street until the next collection day. Bank holiday recycling and rubbish collections We do not collect on the following bank holidays: Christmas Day Boxing Day New Year's Day Good Friday Summer Bank Holiday Please keep your recycling and rubbish within the confines of your property until your next collection. Please note: putting recycling and rubbish on the street when it is not due to be collected is an offence and you risk facing a Fixed Penalty Notice of 80 or Court action. Garden Waste The garden waste composting scheme has a separate collection schedule. Find out more about the Garden waste composting scheme or email RBKC at: streetline@rbkc.gov.uk to find your collection day. Also visit the home composting page to find out how to compost at home.
