Help Camden’s Housing & Repairs services improve how we respond to complaints and learn from them

Are you passionate about creating positive change in social housing? Do you want to make a difference to what happens with Camden Council Housing & Repairs complaints? If so, then we want your help!

Our Housing & Repairs services receive and investigate complaints from residents who are unhappy with the service we’ve provided them. Every single one of those cases is an opportunity for us to understand and learn from what went wrong, so we don’t make the same mistakes again.

We don’t always make the most of these opportunities, but with your help we want to get better at learning from complaints, and improving the problems they highlight.

The Open House Festival 2023

The annual Open House Festival starts on Wednesday 06 September 2023 and goes until Sunday 17 September.

This festival is dedicated to making architecture and neighbourhoods more open, accessible and equitable.

Having started out as Open House weekend, it has grown greatly, but at its core is still the aim of giving the public a chance to see inside and learn about some of the great architecture in this city.

Outside of the Festival, Open City also run walking tours and other events.

Some events are free, and some require pre-booking, but there should be something for everyone.

Camden District Management Committees to meet with Council

CASP District Management Committee (DMC) Representatives and other DMC reps from across the borough will be meeting with the Council to discuss Camden’s Annual Rent-Setting process.

The meeting is taking place on Wednesday 11 January from 6:30 pm at the Crowndale Centre Eversholt Street (near Mornington Crescent Station).

Camden’s Cabinet (made up of elected Councillors) will meet later in January 2023 to agree the final rent in increase for 2023.

The report is here.

The future of housing?

The Goldsmith Street housing scheme in Norwich, like the redevelopment of Camden’s own Agar Grove estate, was built to Passivhaus standards, a low-energy building approach. Four years since it opened, the approach is really showing its advantages in the recent cold weather, and with the current cost of living crisis.

The residents have been warm with almost no heating, and the ventilation system stops condensation and mould.
