FN newsletter - 02-10-2021: the latest news and public consultations
Please be aware of the latest Covid-19 and vaccine information on Camden Council’s coronavirus web page and Westminster Council’s coronavirus web page.
A correction. In the last news letter I mentioned that there would be events taking place at Whitfield Gardens and that “Camden Council has provided on-site electrical points so hopefully they won’t be using noisy and polluting generators, unlike previous events”. Well that was not the case. A diesel generator was running on the both of the event days because the electrical points Camden provided don’t actually work, despite the nearly £900,000 refit the park underwent recently. Apologies for our error.
See below for the latest news and public consultations.
