FN newsletter - 22-03-2021: the latest news, features, and comment

By Fitzrovia News • Issue #2 • View online

Please be aware that there are Covid-19 restrictions in London and these could change. Follow the latest NHS advice, and the latest Government advice. Visit Camden Council’s coronavirus web page or Westminster Council’s coronavirus web page for the latest local information.

We don’t usually publish so many licensing applications in our newsletters, but there has been a flurry of activity recently with a number of public consultations that could affect residents in Fitzrovia. Please do get in touch with us if you have any questions about any of these consultations.

As always, there’s lots of other news, features and comment for your enjoyment, thanks to all our contributors. Our next newsletter will be out in early April.
