Camden Council will be creating a Low Emission Neighbourhood in Camden Town, after being awarded £500,000 from the Mayor of London’s Air Quality Fund. A Low Emission Neighbourhood (LEN) is a comprehensive package of measures delivered in an area of high pollution and high human exposure. Our goal is to reduce air pollution over the next three years by working with the community and local businesses in the Camden Town area. We will do this by reducing emissions from transport, as well as from heating and cooking appliances in buildings. You can see a map of the Low Emission Neighbourhood area below. We know that long-term exposure to elevated concentrations of air pollution increases risk of asthma, cardiovascular disease and respiratory illnesses. Children, the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions are especially susceptible to the impact of breathing polluted air.

What t measur ures s co could ld be im imple lement mented ed by the Camden den Town LEN? N?

• Weekend trial pedestrianisation of Camden High Street from Camden Town underground station to Hawley

Crescent.

• Work with schools and community groups to launch ‘Healthy School Streets’ and ‘Play Streets’ in the LEN area
• Improve and upgrade the walking and cycling connections into and through the LEN
• Install a network of Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCPs) across the LEN
• Reduce vehicle emissions around residential roads by delivering anti-idling measures
• A network of bike hangers to provide a secure place for residents to lock their bikes
• Support for local businesses to reduce emissions from freight deliveries, waste collections, whilst reducing overall

emissions from Camden Market’s activities.

• Review a range of parking approaches that will reduce traffic levels.
• Target building emissions by using our environmental business network, the Camden Climate Change Alliance

and work with Camden Town Unlimited.

“But what about…?”

How will the trial pedestrianisation work? When will the trial pedestrianisation scheme happen? What will the impact on traffic be during the trial? Will the trial pedestrianisation scheme mean that bus passengers won’t be able to get to Camden High street anymore? Will bus journey times increase in the area? How will visitors by car/taxi access Camden High Street? I own a business on Camden High Street how will I get deliveries? Will the trial pedestrianisation cause more air pollution on the surrounding streets?

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and Transport for London are taking the Healthy Streets Approach, to encourage more Londoners to walk, cycle and use public transport. They aim to improve air quality, reduce congestion and help make London's diverse communities greener, healthier and more attractive places to live, work, play and do business.
