London Irish Centre Redevelopment gets Camden Council approval
The London Irish Centre was formed in 1954 to help the needs of London’s Irish community. It has been in its current Camden Square location since 1955.
Since the beginning, it has had an important role supporting the Irish community in London, providing food and accommodation, cultural activities, and consular support.
Last week they received Camden Council approval for a £18 million redevelopment of the site, to allow them to expand their activities.
Local residents still have some concerns:

The Care Quality Commission wants your feedback
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator for health and social care in England. They regulate hospitals, care homes, doctors, dentists, mental health services, community services and more.
They are always looking for feedback from us, the people being treated, on the ways that the services can be improved (or, indeed, where things are going well!).
For September and October 2020, the CQC are particularly interested to hear from people with long-term and invisible conditions.
To have your say, go the CQC website:

This weekend marks the Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the New Year celebration in the Jewish calendar, and the start of a holy period leading up to Yom Kippur.
The Jewish community has long had, and continues to have, a significant presence in the Borough, and they have made many contributions to London. Although activities have been disrupted by COVID, in Camden there are:
- Jewish Museum London
- JW3 Jewish Community Centre
- Synagogues, including: South Hampstead Synagogue, Belsize Square Synagogue, New London Synagogue
- Brondesbury Park Eruv, with approved eruvin for South Hampstead & St Johns Wood (What is an eruv?)
To the Jewish community we wish Shanah Tovah, or Happy New Year.
