Dartmouth Park Healthy Neighbourhood
Find out what we aim to achieve for the Dartmouth Park Healthy Neighbourhood, how you can get involved and have your say, and what's happening next.
Islington Council and Camden Council are working in partnership to create a healthy neighbourhood for the Dartmouth Park area. This healthy neighbourhood aims to make the area greener, healthier and more pleasant to spend time in, making it easier to walk, wheel and cycle.
We want to hear from local people about how we can:
- make the area greener, healthier and more pleasant to spend time in, with new plants, trees and seating
- create safer, cleaner streets for children to travel to school and areas for play
- reduce traffic in the area to make local streets quieter, less polluted and safer to walk and cycle around
- support local businesses to thrive.
We have been listening to local people and want to hear your ideas for the Dartmouth Park Healthy Neighbourhood, which will help us develop our first proposals.
There will be more opportunities to have your say during the process. We will hold a public consultation before taking a decision on if and how we will go ahead and with the Dartmouth Park Healthy Neighbourhood plan.
Visit our Commonplace page for more information, to comment on the interactive map (hosted by Camden Council) and register for upcoming public events.

About the Dartmouth Park Healthy Neighbourhood
The healthy neighbourhood will cover the area bounded by Highgate Hill, Junction Road, Fortess Road, Highgate Road, Highgate Hill West and Highgate High Street.
How to get involved
We want to work with local people to understand the issues you want to see addressed in the project area to create healthier and more pleasant streets. We also want to hear your suggestions for how to tackle these issues. This will help us develop proposals for the healthy neighbourhood.
At this early stage there are several ways you can have your say.
