FN newsletter 04-05-2022: Local elections and public consultations

Covid rates in London are still very high. Please follow NHS advice to avoid catching and spreading coronavirus. Information and how to get vaccinated is on Camden Council’s coronavirus web page and Westminster Council’s coronavirus web page.

Last week’s hustings for the West End turned out to be a lively affair with the Conservative and Labour candidates trading verbal blows. You can watch and listen here.

Filming is taking place today and tomorrow in Tottenham Street and Fitzroy Square. Film crews have been reminded not to idle engines and to keep disruption to a minimum. Crews have also been told not to use diesel power generators as the neighbourhood is an air quality action area.

Don’t forget to vote in the local elections on Thursday 5 May.

In this newsletter we have a round up of the planning application lodged in April and the latest licensing applications.
