10 MORE CAMDEN NEIGHBOURHOODS FEEL #HS2 PAIN
The new sites affected by the project are:
• The entire Churchway Estate, Somers Town, and a housing estate and businesses in Cedar Way, Agar Grove.
• Coniston, Langdale, Cartmel, Staveley, Waterhead, Newby, Derwent, Rydal, Scafell and The Tarns blocks in the Regent’s Park Estate.
• Six large housing blocks opposite Cecil Sharp House at the south end of Gloucester Avenue, Primrose Hill, and more than 50 homes in Juniper Crescent, Chalk Farm, along with 24 homes in Adelaide Road, Primrose Hill.
• The whole of the Abbey and Ainsworth estates in West Hampstead, 40 homes in Cedar Court, Belsize Road, in West Hampstead, and 18 homes in Goldsmith’s Place in Kilburn.
Although residents in these areas will not face the same fate as people being forced from their homes in Euston, they are looking at having major works in their neighbourhood as the hole HS2 will make in Camden grows bigger.
A HS2 official told the New Journal that the “rights of access” to housing estates and “open spaces” could be affected during the works.
