Camden's Director for Environment & Culture visits Belsize

Yesterday afternoon my fellow Belsize Councillors and I took Camden Council’s Director of Environment and Culture, Peter Bishop, on a tour of the ward. He wanted to get to know us and we wanted to show him some of the issues that came up on the doorstep in Belsize during the election. So we showed him the Belsize Avenue-Haverstock Hill junction (see photo below of my fiancé Laura at the junction) and the England’s Lane-Primrose Hill Road-Belsize Park Gardens junction, both of which we and a lot of residents think are dangerous. He’s promised to look into possible changes for both. We also talked about ways we could get Belsize Library open more often. And about how we might reinvigorate the “farmers market” outside Hampstead Theatre. So hopefully we’ll have some news on all of those issues in the not too distant future.
