Leader sets priorities for Camden in latest Annual Report
Councillor Richard Olszewski shares his first annual report as Leader of Camden Council.
Becoming Leader at the end of July 2025, I set out my continued commitment to tackling inequality, to delivering for the people of Camden, and to making our borough a fairer place for everyone who lives and works here. I’m proud to present this report to highlight our achievements so far and share the ways in which the council and our communities are working together to meet this vision for Camden.
Supporting residents is at the very core of what we do. Our most recent ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission inspection of our Adult Social Care services showed the pride we take in providing the best possible services that our residents rely on.
I want Camden to be a place of opportunity for everyone - where people can afford to live, to stay, and to lead healthy lives. I will be focusing efforts over the coming year to drive forward our housing ambitions, including building more high-quality affordable homes for families, and ensuring residents have access to support, jobs, and skills training.
My priority is to ensure that our communities remain safe, particularly following recent conflict and tensions felt across the world. I am proud of the partnerships we have built with voluntary sector partners and faith groups in response to this, to listen to their concerns and ensure every resident feels safe and championed in Camden.
I look forward to meeting the challenges of the next year, to continue delivering outstanding services, and to bringing about real change which directly benefits the lives of our residents in Camden.
