Watch Belsize Councillor and Liberal Democrat Candidate for Mayor of London call on Camden's MPs, Keir Starmer and Tulip Siddiq, to sign Lib Dem MP Sarah Olney's EDM in Parliament.

October is Black History Month in the UK: a time to celebrate the enormous contributions Black people have made to our country. 

Throughout this month, we remember icons from the trailblazing composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, to Margaret Busby - Britain's youngest and first Black female book publisher.

We also celebrate those who helped establish our National Health Service, joined the war effort, marched for justice and worked tirelessly to build a better world for all of us, including those who continue to blaze a trail and fight for justice today.

We applaud and support the efforts of organisations such as The Black Curriculum to make sure that Black history is properly taught and understood in our schools as an integral part of the curriculum and that Black history is more widely known in society more generally. But, until then, Black History Month is still a vital tool in putting the spotlight on the contributions of often-overlooked Black people to our collective history.

Follow us on Twitter for the most up-to-date resources and links to events and initiatives we will be highlighting throughout Black History Month. Camden Lib Dems will be using our platforms on social media to amplify Black voices and help tell Black stories from both within our party and beyond.

Below, we have included links to some of the key Black History Month resources in Camden, London and online, where we can all learn more about Black history.

You can find key listings for Black History Month across the UK on the official website: 

We have also curated some of the best resources and links locally and from around the UK below:

When members of our local Lib Dem team called on residents in the NW2 parts of Fortune Green ward a few months ago, many of people said they were concerned about the proposed plans for the Cricklewood B&Q site...

Although we hope that the worst of the Covid-19 health crisis is over, the impact is still being felt in so many ways.

We are very worried about the Government’s plans to remove free travel here in London for 11-18 year olds. This proposal which has been agreed by the Mayor of London, as part of of the Transport for London (TfL) bailout, is due to be implemented after the October half term. 

Camden Liberal Democrats want to hear your views on how the borough should build back better in future...

Camden Council is considering a proposal in South End Green to set up a dining area on the slip-road between Pond Street and South End Road. This is similar to the "Streatery" already established in neighbouring Belsize Village.
