News on Somers Town - Future Neighbourhoods 2030

As part of phase one of the Somers Town Future Neighbourhood 2030 programme, Somers Town Community Association was responsible for working with the community to create an local strategy (plan) that would be reflective of the views of the community and what they would like to see happening in Somers Town in regards to projects/initiatives that would help to improve their quality of life while tackling both the current economic and climate challenges facing us all.

The strategy was brought together over a period of a year, commencing with our launch event in February 2022 followed by a range of community engagement events across 2022 and six focused workshops that ran from November 2022 to March 2023.

The approach to developing the strategy brought together the United Nations Development Goals, Human Rights, and the local and global context of the climate emergency, whilst ensuring the context was real and relevant to local people facing the worst cost of living crisis in a generation.

The strategy is here to inform interventions taking place in Somers Town going forward and we will be looking at the mechanisms for this to be the case whilst keeping the strategy live and up to date.
