News on Swiss Cottage Open Space

AMbioTEK and Kings College London have been appointed by Camden to help inform proposals for a new children’s play area at Swiss Cottage open space.

After months of local community engagement a strong desire for a new children’s play area was recorded as a top priority for local people. Concerns were raised about the suitability of extending the current play area outside the library as it would be closer to Avenue Road. Air quality and road safety were raised as the main concerns for local people.

To help make an informed decision on this matter, the Council have appointed air quality consultants AmbioTEK to prepare a report detailing accurate air quality data from the site as well as provide a list of recommendations for mitigation against poor air quality. The findings from their report will help inform an updated concept design which will be presented to the local community in the coming weeks for comment.

AmbioTEK will carry out the air quiality survey in May 2022 and will provide a final report in July 2022.

Kind Regards,
