Profile: Sir Simon Milton

Westminster City Council leader Sir Simon Milton has announced his bid to be the next chair of the LGA after Lord Bruce-Lockhart. He tells Heather Jameson about his two decades of public life in one of the UK’s most high-profile boroughs.

Sir Simon Milton is already one of local government's highest-profile councillors as head of the highly visible Westminster City Council and chair of the Local Government Association's improvement board.
