FN newsletter - 24-04-2021: the latest news, and public consultations
Please be aware that there are Covid-19 restrictions in London and these could change. Follow the latest NHS advice, and the latest Government advice. Visit Camden Council’s coronavirus web page or Westminster Council’s coronavirus web page for the latest local information.
It’s been a busy month with shops opening, and outdoor eating and drinking being allowed. We have a special photo feature of people enjoying the spring sunshine as they go shopping and eat out. It’s also been a busy month for new licensing applications. Over the last few months there has been a rush of new applications keeping local watchdogs the Charlotte Street Association and Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association busy checking them and making representations. Many residents are often unaware of applications for new or variations of licences… unless of course they subscribe to this newsletter.
We plan to produce a full-size printed newspaper (FN162) in mid-June. Deadline for articles is 6pm Friday 14 May. Our previous printed newspapers are archived here.
Join us for an editorial and social meeting on Zoom at 7pm Tuesday 4 May 2021.
