  • Performance Changes Caused by Increases in Camden Libraries’ Opening Hours
    PERFORMANCE CHANGES CAUSED BY INCREASES IN CAMDEN LIBRARIES’ OPENING HOURS In January 2009, Camden Council increased the opening hours of its public libraries. However, it did not increase the opening hours by a constant number or a constant proportion, but by a method which favoured bigger libraries. CPLUG had argued strenuously against this, but to no avail. CPLUG’s Concerns The suggested reason for increasing Camden’s library opening hours was that it would enable more people to visit the libraries. CPLUG did not disagree with this assumption and attempted to ensure that the available resources were allocated where they would do the most good, rather than where was most bureaucratically convenient. This “value for money” argument went unheeded. One of CPLUG’s major concerns was the effect that a large allocation of resources to the Swiss Cottage Library (library no. 3 in map below) would have on the surrounding smaller libraries. In the recent past, this library has benefited when other libraries have not. Thus, the public increasingly has tended to use Swiss Cottage in place of the local libraries. It is to be expected that this cannibalisation of the user pool will lead to a continually reinforced downward spiral for the small libraries and is a recipe for eventual library closures - very bad news for those who have difficulty travelling. It is also bad for community cohesion and for the environment. It is tempting to assume that the cost of implementing the opening hours changes is simply proportional to the change in those hours. However, the size of the library has a marked affect on the cost.

    Kilburn Library. Constructed 1893-4 by Edmeston and Gabriel, in Queen Anne style. January 2020 Ward: Alperton Alperton Station, Ealing Road, HA0 4LL Date: 1931 Conservation area: No Architect: Charles Holden Significance score - 12 Authenticity: 3 Style: Modernist Architectural: 3 Original use: Underground station Historical/archaeological: 3 Existing use: Underground station Townscape: 3 Architectural significance – A good quality and virtually unaltered underground station by Charles Holden, constructed in 1931 in a modern European style using brick, reinforced concrete and glass. A similar (smaller) design to Sudbury Town, a red brick square box-like entrance hall with full height metal windows, but at Alperton the platforms are at high level and reached by two separate staircases. It is capped with a concrete fascia with original lettering saying ALPERTON STATION and flat concreate overhanging eaves roof. Off at both sides, a single storey shop unit in the same red brick and featuring curved windows. This creates an architecturally pleasing composition. Historic significance – Perivale Alperton was opened in 1903 by the District Railway (now the District line) on its new extension to South Harrow. The station was subsequently renamed Alperton in 1910. In 1931, the old timber station was demolished and replaced by a new station in preparation for the handover of the branch from the District line to the Piccadilly line. The new station was designed by Charles Holden. Charles Henry Holden (1875 – 1960) was an English architect best known for designing many London Underground stations during the 1920s and 1930s, and the Company of London's headquarters at 55 Broadway. It was one of the first stations to have an escalator which served the eastbound platform and had originally been used at the South Bank exhibition of the Festival of Britain.

I am delighted that this year’s theme is “the spoken word.” As a linguist myself I place great value on the use and importance of language. The activities this year cover a wide range of different forms including rap, writing, song, film and performing arts. These events involve many local groups and organisations, ranging from the Roundhouse to Nostalgie Ya Mboka, a local Congolese radio station. Although I only became Leader following the local elections in May, I have been a Camden Councillor in West Hampstead for over 12 years and have the pleasure of working with many of the groups and organisations taking part in Black History Month. I am really pleased that the events cover the length and breadth of the borough, as well as catering for many different tastes and interests, and that most are free or low cost.
