Camden London Borough Council, also known as Camden Council, legally The Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Camden, is the local authority for the London Borough of Camden in Greater London, England. It is a London borough council, one of 32 in London. The council has been under Labour majority control since 2010. The council meets at Camden Town Hall and has its main offices at 5 Pancras Square.

History

The London Borough of Camden and its council were created under the London Government Act 1963, with the first election held in 1964.{{cite legislation UK|type=act|act=London Government Act 1963|chapter=33|access-date=16 May 2024}} For its first year the council acted as a shadow authority alongside the area's three outgoing authorities, being the councils of the three metropolitan boroughs of Hampstead, Holborn and St Pancras.{{cite book | first=Frederic |last=Youngs | title=Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England | volume=I: Southern England | year=1979 | publisher=Royal Historical Society | location=London | isbn=0901050679}} The new council formally came into its powers on 1 April 1965, at which point the old boroughs and their councils were abolished.

The council's full legal name is "The Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Camden", but it styles itself Camden Council.{{cite web |title=Environment Services Contract |url=https://www.camden.gov.uk/documents/20142/1130362/Environment+Services+-+Veoila+-+Conditions+of+contract+and+definitions+%5Bpdf%5D.pdf/3cf066bc-3244-5a69-dc3e-bc4ffecdced6 |website=Camden Council |access-date=23 April 2024}}

From 1965 until 1986 the council was a lower-tier authority, with upper-tier functions provided by the Greater London Council. The split of powers and functions meant that the Greater London Council was responsible for "wide area" services such as fire, ambulance, flood prevention, and refuse disposal; with the boroughs (including Camden) responsible for "personal" services such as social care, libraries, cemeteries and refuse collection. The Greater London Council was abolished in 1986 and its functions passed to the London Boroughs, with some services provided through joint committees.{{cite legislation UK|type=act|act=Local Government Act 1985|year=1985|chapter=51|access-date=5 April 2024}} Camden became a local education authority in 1990 when the Inner London Education Authority was dissolved.Education Reform Act 1988 (c. 40)

Since 2000 the Greater London Authority has taken some responsibility for highways and planning control from the council, but within the English local government system the council remains a "most purpose" authority in terms of the available range of powers and functions.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YX0nAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA107|title=Local Government Reorganisation: The Review and its Aftermath|first= Steve |last=Leach|page=107|publisher=Routledge|year=1998|isbn=978-0714648590}}

Powers and functions

The local authority derives its powers and functions from the London Government Act 1963 and subsequent legislation, and has the powers and functions of a London borough council. It sets council tax and as a billing authority also collects precepts for Greater London Authority functions and business rates.{{cite web|url=https://counciltaxrates.info/councils|title=Council Tax and Business Rates Billing Authorities|publisher=Council Tax Rates|access-date=8 April 2020|archive-date=12 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512013810/https://counciltaxrates.info/councils|url-status=live}} It sets planning policies which complement Greater London Authority and national policies, and decides on almost all planning applications accordingly. It is a local education authority and is also responsible for council housing, social services, libraries, waste collection and disposal, traffic, and most roads and environmental health.{{cite web|url=https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/planning/who-we-work/local-plan-responses-within-and-outside-london|title=Local Plan Responses – within and outside London|date=12 November 2015|publisher=Mayor of London|access-date=9 April 2020|archive-date=3 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803021859/https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/planning/who-we-work/local-plan-responses-within-and-outside-london|url-status=live}}

Political control

The council has been under Labour majority control since 2010.

The first election to the council was held in 1964, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities until the new arrangements came into effect on 1 April 1965. Political control of the council since 1965 has been as follows:{{cite web |title=Compositions calculator |url=https://www.electionscentre.co.uk/?page_id=3825 |website=The Elections Centre | date=4 March 2016 |access-date=3 March 2023}}{{cite news | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/council/html/3897.stm | title = Camden | access-date = 2010-05-08 | publisher = BBC News Online | date = 19 April 2009 | archive-date = 2023-03-31 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230331145235/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/election2010/council/html/3897.stm | url-status = live }}

Criticisms

In 2012 it was reported that Camden Council was one of several local authorities to have been banned from accessing information from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. This information is normally made available to local authorities for purposes such as enforcing parking fines, but access can be withdrawn if they are found to be mis-using the service. The Big Brother Watch organisation, which obtained the information about the ban under a Freedom of Information request, claimed that "the public are right to be worried that their privacy is at risk across a range of government services."{{citation|title=DVLA bans councils from database over abuses|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20642429|work=BBC News|date=8 December 2012|access-date=9 December 2012|archive-date=9 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121209052720/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20642429|url-status=live}}

Following Freedom of Information requests in 2020, it was discovered that only 16% of Camden's employees live within the borough,{{Cite web|url=https://savebloomsbury.co.uk/2020/05/06/camden-the-non-local-authority/|title=Camden: The Non-Local Authority|date=May 6, 2020|access-date=February 20, 2021|archive-date=February 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210218224448/https://savebloomsbury.co.uk/2020/05/06/camden-the-non-local-authority/|url-status=live}} and that many of its employees live as far afield as Scotland and Northern Ireland.{{Cite web|url=http://camdennewjournal.com/article/top-ranked-council-staff-live-miles-away-from-camden|title=Top ranked council staff live miles away from Camden|website=Camden New Journal|access-date=2021-02-20|archive-date=2020-12-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201206042030/http://camdennewjournal.com/article/top-ranked-council-staff-live-miles-away-from-camden|url-status=live}}

It was also discovered that senior employees were more likely to live further away from Camden, with a spokesperson saying that finding employees with specialised skillsets near to the borough was 'almost impossible'. Camden stated in response that all their staff are provided with one day's extra leave for volunteering, with a 'focus on Camden'.

Statistics also showed that only a single employee lived in Camden's three Central London wards, despite comprising almost a quarter of the borough's size and population.
