Issue 09: December 2005
Kensington and Chelsea is renowned for its award-winning streetscape and as the most densely populated borough in western Europe, planning issues are very important.
In this issue of RBKC Direct we explain how the Council is setting out planning guidelines for the future. We also look at how our scheme to develop the world-famous Exhibition Road is progressing and the Council's plans to make its various departments and services more accessible to members of the public.
We have also included a short survey about RBKC Direct on the back page. Please tell us what you think about this publication and how we can improve it. It should only take a few minutes to fill in and you could even win £25 of vouchers.

Local Development Framework: Towards "a Better City Life" |
|
 |
New legislation means that the Council has to produce a collection of documents which will form the basis on which planning decisions are made in the borough: a Local Development Framework (LDF).
Our belief is that the framework must be informed and influenced by local people so that the borough continues to be a good place to live, work and visit.

A change in the way the Council provides services to customers is underway. Already many people get the information they need or access services online, but now dedicated telephone numbers, a new "one stop" service centre and services that are easier to get access to and understand are all on the agenda in a shake-up that will coincide with the Town Hall's 30th birthday. |
