The WHAT Committee recently met with Martin Reading from Camden. Martin is in charge of highway engineering. He has offered to act as a point of contact for WHAT members to feed in details of local streets which need repair, dead trees, broken paving stones and so on. If you have something to report, email Virginia Berridge (virginiaberridge@lshtm.ac.uk) or the WHAT email (whatnw6@gmail.com) and we will take it up with Martin on your behalf.
