Proposed Closures Of Caversham Childrens Centre And Acol Childrens Centre

The Local Government Financial Settlement announced in December 2010 confirmed a 26% reduction in funding for local government. As a result of these severe cuts to public sector funding, Camden Council faces significant reductions in the amount of money it receives from the central government. Camden relies on central government for 70% of its spending therefore the impact of such a reduction is substantial. This means the council had needed to make difficult yet necessary decisions...

Local Safety Scheme Hilgrove Road

Hilgrove Road is part of a strategic cycle route that joins a multi-arm roundabout consisting of five arms. Many cyclists and pedestrians have raised concerns over fast moving vehicles.

There have been four accidents on Belsize roundabout between Hilgrove Road and Loudoun Road in a 3 year period to August 2010. All of these... More

Library savings programme 2011

Due to cuts in central government funding, the Council needs to reduce its spending by £83 million. This means we face some difficult decisions and council services are changing as a result. The Cabinet has decided to reduce spending on libraries from £8 million to £6 million a year by 2014. We have already saved £400,000 from the libraries service in 2011/12 through back office efficiencies, without affecting the service that residents currently receive. This means that the... More
