The large industrial site located by Camden Lock is currently under consultation for a planning brief could easily hold a medium-sized police station, say local councillors, bringing needed community safety improvements to Camden Town.

 

Negotiating a site would require commitment from the police, businesses and Camden Council, but is achieveable with the right vision for the area says Labour. 

 

Labour’s Deputy Leader, Cllr. Nasim Ali, said:

 

“It’s a chance in a lifetime that a big site comes up in the middle of the borough.  Camden Council should negotiate a space with developers for a modern police station for Camden Town.  This would put policing right in the centre of the borough, helping surrounding wards and neighbourhoods and deal with Camden Town.  It’s a win-win for the development, as a safer Camden Town will be good for business and help regeneration.”
