Thank you for the positive response to the launch of the Neighbourhood Planners.London network and the messages of support. The momentum is already growing to strengthen and raise the profile of neighbourhood planning in the capital.
In this Bulletin we celebrate the success of the referendum in Kentish Town, spotlight the Government's publicity campaign and look for early signs of interest from Mayor Khan. There's also news of a changed date for the next Neighbourhood Planning Gathering to 21st July and an updated Neighbourhood Planners.London Neighbourhood Planners.London MAP and LIST. We would also like your suggestions for a major Neighbourhood Planners.London event this autumn.

Kentish Town says YES - Kentish Town became the fifth neighbourhood in London to pass at referendum with a 90.9% vote in favour. Balloons, posters and even a campaign truck were deployed and a nifty You Tube video using only a smartphone helped raise awareness. The turn out was 13.75%. You can view the Plan here and read the press release here.

Make a plan, make a difference - It has been hard to miss the Government's marketing campaign for neighbourhood planning - with advertising online, at tube stations, on bus stops, in local papers and on local radio more people have probably heard about it in a month than in the previous five years. 22 London boroughs were among the targets. Don't miss the helpful new introductory website.

The sixth London Neighbourhood Planning Gathering will now be held on evening of Thursday 21st July - this is a NEW DATE moved from 7th July. Fittingly it will be in Kentish Town - the latest neighbourhood area to win at referendum. As well as meeting neighbourhood planners from across London and beyond there will be a chance to discuss the success or otherwise of the Community Infrastructure Levy in the capital.
The Gathering is organised by Angela Koch, ImaginePlaces #LNPlanningGathering
