Camden launches future neighbourhood in Somers Town

The initiative, supported by the Mayor of London, is led by Camden Council, in partnership with Somers Town Community Association and Somers Town Neighbourhood Forum. At the core of the programme is the development of an overall strategy for Somers Town which will identify, with residents, what will need to happen locally to ensure that the area has cleaner and greener estates, low-emission transport, radically improved air quality, new energy efficiency measures, and low carbon energy sources and new ways of creating the ‘circular economy’.

The council will also work alongside the local communities to deliver 10 projects towards the changes residents want to see in their area. These projects will look to:

Improve local green spaces

Install solar panels on suitable local buildings

Reduce local air pollution and help residents to reduce their exposure to pollution

Improve the energy efficiency of council properties

Improve the physical space around the neighbourhood to make walking and cycling safer, easier and more accessible

Generate local ‘green’ jobs and opportunities to participate in ‘circular economy’ activities
