don't need a degree in town planning to know what you think is wrong with
Kentish Town nor to suggest ways of improving it
Join
in the Campaign to save our fishshop and florist The Housing Dept want to
redevelop the Library site for a 60 office District Housing Office with a
new Library attached. This would mean the closure of Jayne the Florist and
B&M Seafoods and our library would be closed for 18 months!

RKT PLEDGES NEW CAMPAIGN AFTER SHOW ATTRACTSRAVE RESPONSE
More than 1,000 people are estimated to have visited the exhibition about a new future for Kentish Town put together by the independent community group ReNew Kentish Town.
Hundreds of people took part in interactive exhibits, enrolled in the Planning for Real Session or signed the visitors' book over the nine days of the show. Many of those who left comments said they were delighted that there was a real hope of change for the better, and urged ReNew Kentish Town to continue the campaign.
Tom Young, RKT founder and co-ordinator of the exhibition, said: "I was delighted and humbled by the number of people who took the time the view our show and leave their own comments. "It proves what RKT always knew - that there is a vast array of talent and original thought in Kentish Town. People want to see changes and want to take part in that process."
The exhibition attracted visits from councillors, including the leader of Camden Council Jane Roberts, and officers from Camden and the Greater London Authority. The idea won early support from local figures, including Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow.
The key focus of the show was how the old railway lands in the heart of the area should be redeveloped as and when they came onto the market.
RKT will produce a report based on the content of the show and on contributions by visitors. This will be passed to all relevant bodies and should provide the platform for the next stage.
The future for the campaign could include:
:: a new status for ReNew Kentish Town;
:: mass meetings open to all in Kentish Town;
:: long-term campaign for positive redevelopment of the railway land; and
:: short-term
action to produce small-scale improvements;
