Camden Council has made permanent its outdoor eating and drinking areas on Charlotte Street along with a number of other changes, in a decision taken in October.
Known as “streateries” they were originally introduced between Goodge Street and Percy Street on a temporary basis in 2020 and 2021 in response to the early years of the Covid pandemic when indoor seating was restricted.
Camden carried out a public consultation in September proposing to make them permanent along with proposals to make permanent the loading bays outside numbers 24 to 30, the southbound only motor-traffic direction on the lower part of the street, and “no parking or loading at any time” restrictions around junctions.
“Over 77 percent of respondents to the on-line consultation support the proposals to permanently retain the Streateries and other trial changes on Charlotte Street,” stated a report on the decision.
“The majority of respondents (69 percent) are from within the consultation area, 67.7 percent of whom also support the proposals. The main concerns highlighted by respondents’ comments are noise and anti-social behaviour as well as removal of residents’ parking.”
