Camden Association of Street Properties
If you have any concerns regarding crime, policing or community safety please email Peter Ward (admin@camdensnb.org.uk). Be watchful about email scams you receive and take with a large dose of salt much of the ‘advice’ you see on social media. Be equally mindful whilst goggling – only use trusted websites.
Because of the current coronavirus outbreak, and in line with the latest NHS and Government guidance, the majority of our activities – attendance at public meetings, everyday liaison with Camden Council, etc, – will cease until the time we receive advice that it is safe for UK residents to resume normal activities
Over the past couple of weeks, we have focused our efforts on maintaining an online presence via our website and have posted important statements and other related information, which we have received as a Camden Association with an active membership.
So long as capacity is available, we will continue to update our website with information, which our members may find useful during this difficult time.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and sincerely hope that normal everyday activities will resume in the not too distant future.
Please stay safe and well!

An HMO is a shared home, including house & flat shares, student homes, bedsits and some buildings converted into flats.
The Council has an existing licensing scheme for private landlords, and the aim is to improve the quality of homes in private rental. The existing scheme finishes in December 2020, and the Council wants feedback before starting a new system (or extending the existing system).
