Background on Hawley Wharf | November 23, 2009
Local people have been concerned and alarmed at the current mismatch between the Hawley Wharf Development Plans and the needs and wishes of
the community.
It is a huge project and the outcome will affect the character of this area for the next fifty years, and the lives of our children and grandchildren. It will have an impact on residents, businesses, schools, health and police
services in the Camden Town and Kentish Town communities.
If done well, a revitalised Hawley Wharf can be commercially viable and contribute to the social and economic life of the area. If done badly, it will bring more visitors to the area, increase transport problems and add to the problems which Camden already faces as a tourist and “retail destination”, with a noisy and crime-ridden night-time economy.
Some guidance from residents and others in the area would benefit the development.
Tenants and Residents Associations, as well as Camden Town Unlimited, have given their backing to a new initiative to consult residents about their needs and wishes for the area and how they can be achieved in the new development. It is your views we want and we will convey them forcefully to Camden Council and to the developers.
Please come to the meeting.
