“I like the vibrancy of Camden. But I am worried about the future for the area.”
“I like the vibrancy of Camden. I’ve lived here near Camden Town for five years. Camden is my own little town, but a town that I also share with the rest of the country with people coming here to visit London Zoo, Camden market and so on.
“There are loads of opportunities in Camden. Things are accessible to me where I live, which is very important for me as a blind person living on my own. I have the doctors down the road, the chemist just across the road, local shops, including the little post office, which is really important for me, and, of course, Camden High Street.
“But I am worried about the future for the area. Some of the local shops have closed and I think there has been an increase in kids hanging round. There’s become more of an underground community with drug addicts, kids drinking on Friday and Saturday nights, playing truant in the week. I am more afraid of going out these days.”
