Ronnie Wood's Pink Door Sparks Council Row

Westminster Council has instructed Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood to repaint his bright pink front door at his £7 million Maida Vale residence. The musician, who has lived with the pink door for years, was reportedly told to change it due to it being 'incongruous' and harming the 'special architectural interest' of the conservation area.

This decision comes as other affluent neighbors have also received similar directives from the council. One resident, 97-year-old Bafta-winning continuity supervisor Angela Allen, was reportedly told to change her blue door or face a £30,000 fine, having been in dispute with the council for five years.

A council spokesperson stated that the properties are part of a listed building group in a conservation area, and changes affecting their historic character may require consent. Residents can submit applications for works to be formally considered, though many are disappointed by the order to repaint their colorful doors in favor of more somber tones.
