Highways, transport, traffic and parking services in the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, and Hammersmith and Fulham, will be managed by one person as the two councils cement their commitment to bi and tri-borough working.

Both councils agreed on the appointment of Mahmood Siddiqi as director of transportation and highways. He was previously head of highways and traffic at Kensington and Chelsea RLBC, and has been at the royal borough for 11 years – initially as a principal engineer.
