See overleaf. Issue 3 Hampstead Heath works begin I’m campaigning with Simon Marcus to protect our Heath where work began this week on the Dams. See overleaf. STOP LABOUR’S PLANS TO END WEEKLY BIN COLLECTIONS ■ Labour have announced plans to end weekly bin collections and move to fortnightly collections across large parts of Camden. I oppose Labour’s threat to our services and local Conservatives are fighting to retain weekly bin collections as a necessity, not a luxury. Fortnightly bin collections pose serious public health risks, attracting rats and urban foxes, while messy streets threaten our area’s beauty and amenity. Hampstead Conservative Councillors Andrew Mennear and Siobhan Baillie proposed a motion to Council calling for the protection of weekly bin collections, but this was voted down by Labour. One Labour-run council has even moved to collecting rubbish just once a month. Labour’s fortnightly collections would leave This is intolerable. As a matter of principle, weekly bin rubbish piling up across the borough and a collections must be preserved. surge in fly-tipping on our streets. VOTE FOR A STRONG LOCAL TEAM ■ I’m standing to represent you on Camden Council: building on the great work of our local Conservative team. I’ll continue working with Councillors Tom Currie and Stephen Stark and ex-Councillors Simon Marcus and Chris Knight to help improve our community. The local by-election’s being held to replace Simon Marcus, who’s standing down so he can focus on representing you in Parliament if he were elected. I’ve campaigned with Simon Marcus to defend Hampstead Heath, with Tom Currie to protect our local pubs, with Stephen Stark to block inappropriate planning applications, and with Siobhan Baillie to stop Tesco lorries blocking our High Street. If elected as your Councillor, I’d continue to work with them to keep Hampstead special. 6 Streatley Place hotel plan blocked by Councillors ■ Plans to build a hotel at 6 Streatley Place have been blocked until Councillors can see the impact on the area. This is a victory for residents who want sustainable development for our area. I attended the meeting at Town Hall, where Councillors agreed to delay the decision until they’d had a chance to see the effect of the application on the site. Alain de Botton’s plan to build a hotel in the heart of the village provoked outrage from residents. The design is out-of-keeping with the area, while both the building itself and its construction would have affected people living nearby. Local residents in New Court commented that it would affect their quality of life and invited the developer to meet with them. English Heritage raised concerns about the application and recommended amendments - but Camden council staff backed the plan anyway. Hampstead Conservative Councillor Stephen Stark told the Council meeting, “Camden planners think their opinion trumps that of English Heritage. It’s just not acceptable.” Local issues, local action, local Conservatives Printed and promoted by David Douglas on behalf of Oliver Cooper and Simon Marcus, all of 1a Heath Hurst Road, London, NW3 2RU. intouch If you have a problem or concern call us on 020 7794 5679 Keeping in touch Name Address Printed and promoted by David Douglas on behalf of Oliver Cooper and Simon Marcus, all of 1a Heath Hurst Road, London, NW3 2RU.

The development was denied planning permission last year, yet was torn down regardless: just one day before the pub was to become a Listed building. The pub was the only building on Carlton Vale that survived the Blitz - but is now in ruins. Local Conservatives have fought to preserve our pubs across Hampstead. With residents, we’ve secured Asset of Community Value status to protect the Old White Bear and Magdala. However, the fate of the Carlton Tavern shows that the fight to protect our pubs is not over, and I will keep working with our local team and residents to help them survive and thrive. 1 2 Backing local pubs across our community: 1) Oliver and Chris Knight at the Old Bull and Bush: a priceless Hampstead gem. 2) Oliver and Cllr Tom Currie at the Magdala, which has been granted ACV status. 3) Oliver and Chris Knight campaigning for the Old White Bear to reopen. Dams work disturbance hits our Heath ■ Construction work began last week on the Hampstead Heath ponds - causing traffic, noise, and disruption to our Heath. The Dams works will involve thousands of lorry movements on the Heath, disturbing its tranquility and undermining its beauty. Over 1,000 letters of objection and a 14,000-signature petition were ignored by Camden Council in granting permission for the works, which will leave the Heath scarred. With Simon Marcus and a huge number of residents, I have been strongly opposed to the Dams project. If elected to represent you, I would fight to continue Simon’s work and prevent further unnecessary developments affecting our Heath. Caring and campaigning for Hampstead
