Camden Council
Camden Council recently granted an alcohol licence to a new Tesco Express and agreed to public consultations on structural changes for four local schools.
Camden Council's Licensing Panel E granted a new premises licence to a Tesco Express at 63-69 New Oxford Street in October 2026, allowing it to sell alcohol. This decision followed a resident's objection regarding licensed premises concentration, which was addressed by amended hours and conditions.
In October 2026, the council's Cabinet agreed to proceed with public consultations on structural changes for four schools. These proposals address declining pupil numbers and financial pressures at La Sainte Union Catholic Secondary School, St Alban's Church of England Primary School, St Michael's Church of England Primary School, and St Paul's CofE Primary School.
Other recent discussions at Camden Council, the local government authority for the London Borough of Camden, included updates on cancer screening programmes, mental health services, and building safety compliance in October 2026. The Pension Board also reviewed its terms of reference in November 2026.
