The mayor elect of NYC Zohran Mamdani will have to win tough battles if he's to deliver his policy agenda. Pity him not too much, though. He has vastly more power than the mayor of London. Thank you to Carl Weisbrod who shared his expert analysis. https://t.co/RzBGNouKNO

My statement of support and reassurance for Camden’s Jewish community following the horrific synagogue attack in Manchester. Our thoughts are with the loved ones of those who were killed and everyone affected. Camden staff are supporting the police at all of our synagogues.

I love the way @firstmile (supposedly a @BCorpUK company), thinks it can use our W1 streets as a waste tip - all night and in 30 degrees of heat. Truly world class... @CamdenCouncil

Great report from @createstreets. What a shame the likes of @bt_uk make this work necessary. So much for their corporate ESG agenda...
What do we do about Box Blight? Problem of unused phone boxes lying empty & unused, attracting rubbish? In one study of 64 phone boxes, 4 had been repurposed, 27 were a mess (graffiti, missing panels, etc), 25 were not working & 14 were BOTH in a poor condition AND not working...

After much planning and preparation (and head scratching for technical reasons), I am delighted to say we have *finally* got the outside of Holborn station resurfaced. This was a @CDALDN funded scheme in partnership with @CamdenCouncil. Thank you to them and to @FMConwayltd @TfL!
