Future Neighbourhoods 2030 (FN 2030) is a £3.5 million multi-year programme. In 2021, the GLA invited London boroughs, Business Improvement Districts and other local partnerships to contribute to a green recovery, by supporting neighbourhoods to become exemplar models of sustainability and innovation.
Our
Vision
Future Neighbourhood is one that embraces a green recovery and commits to tackling the climate and ecological emergencies, whilst addressing London’s health and social inequalities. This will mean Future Neighbourhoods where Londoners are working together to lower emissions, clean up their air, improve their local green spaces, reduce their waste and transform their homes.

The
GLA Awards
In March 2022, the GLA awarded Somers Town funding as one of two areas to pilot this approach due to the projects proposed successfully meeting the programme’s themes, the Mayor’s Green New Deal aims, and a commitment to work with communities to create a Future Neighbourhood that meets local needs.
The GLA has set the following Green New Deal mission objectives for the strategy:
Improve the natural environment and air quality, tackle climate and ecological emergencies
Promote and incentivise activities that sustain and grow London’s green economy
Prioritise interventions reducing health inequalities and social injustices
Engage Londoners and businesses in their journey to become a zero pollution and greener city
And these are the programme themes:
Retrofitting of homes, commercial and public buildings
Creating a decarbonised, smart and integrated energy system
Improving air quality and creating zero emission zones
Climate adapted, resilient and green neighbourhoods
Zero waste, circular economy

A Rights-Based
Approach
Climate change is a human rights issue. Some of our most fundamental human rights will be challenged in the coming years, as extreme weather events and rising sea levels threaten individuals and communities across the planet.
What happens globally reverberates in Somers Town: some of the places most vulnerable to global climate change – such as Bangladesh, Sudan and Somalia – have strong connections to Somers Town.
Area Based
Strategy
Somers Town Community Association and Somers Town Neighbourhood Forum alongside LB Camden and other partners have led the development of the Somers Town FN 2030 area-based strategy.
The strategy is a long-term plan for Somers Town that identifies further work that needs to happen locally to make our community more resilient to global climate change, and is driven by the knowledge and experiences of local residents, community groups and partners.
