Foreword

We are pleased to present the new sustainable community strategy for Camden on behalf of the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP). This strategy sets out our shared vision for the future of Camden.

We have been listening. To develop this vision elected councillors held public meetings across the borough, which hundreds of people attended to give their views. The civic forum brought together residents, businesses and public services for an in-depth look at some of the toughest problems facing Camden. In all, more than 1200 people took an active role in the consultation.

The overall vision is for Camden to be a borough of opportunity. That means working together to enable individuals and communities to achieve their full potential, in terms of both their work and social life.

We want people in Camden to live in safe and harmonious communities, feeling connected to where they live, and knowing that they can influence what happens around them.

We want to tackle the main dilemmas facing the borough and work together to find solutions. That means adapting to a growing population while maintaining – indeed improving – the quality of life for us and for future generations. Another challenge is making sure Camden becomes a safer place while maintaining the vibrancy that makes it such an interesting place to live.

This strategy sets out how we can work together to bring about real change in Camden. That is why we are presenting a community strategy built around an ambitious vision and clear commitments.

We, and the rest of the Local Strategic Partnership, are committed to making sure that in 2012 Camden is a place of opportunity - for everyone.
