News on Camden Evening and Night Time

Saturday was the second of the three days of the Evening and Night-Time Citizens’ Assembly. A cross-section of people who live, work or run a business in Camden gave their time and energy to help shape Camden’s first Evening and Night-Time Economy Strategy.

It was a very productive environment with participants sharing their thoughts and experiences, listening to other perspectives and learning from others.

The Assembly started by hearing from Wandsworth Council about their strategy process, including their night drives and deconstructed disco. You can find out more about the strategy on the Wandsworth Council website.

The morning continued with everyone describing their vision for the future of Camden in the evening and night-time. Some of the common themes discussed were the importance of belonging, feeling safe and celebrating Camden’s creativity.

During the afternoon, participants went on to talk about the principles that make up their vision. This included the better use of spaces, the need to consider the health and wellbeing of people who live and work in the borough, as well as, promoting Camden’s diverse cultural and artistic heritage.

The third and final day will involve reviewing what has been developed so far and recommending actions for the strategy. Keep up to date with the news on our Commonplace site.
