Lib Dem spin that Camden Town was a priority for them has come to nothing with the cutting of funds from the successful resident-led Camden Town Forum.
The Forum, which steered such things as the £2.5 million Liveability Fund which transformed St.Martin’s Gardens and Castlehaven Open Space, wasn’t a politician-dominated group like the new Area Forums and wasn’t a talking shop.
Residents liked it because they could provide challenge to the council in central Camden Town.
Now their funding has been cuts from 6 meetings a year to quarterly, undermining their ability to question and influence decisions.
This led to the immediate resignation of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Camden Town Forum.
No Lib Dem ward councillors turned up to the meeting.
