| Religious
row over lunches |
 THE
views of 25,000 Camden Muslims are worth less to the Town
Hall than those of a single non-Muslim, a furious Bengali
community leader has claimed after it emerged that halal meat
was secretly removed from thousands of children’s school
dinners.
Emails obtained by the New Journal show that halal meat was
routinely served to Camden school children at more than 50
schools across the borough until last summer, even though
it was branded non-halal.
But officials secretly ordered under-fire catering firm Scolarest
to stop serving the religiously-blessed meat in July after
a mother at Eleanor Palmer School discovered it and complained
that halal slaughter was cruel to animals. |

| 400
sign up against drugs |
STOP the crack dealers!
This is the simple but stark message that under-siege residents
and traders in Camden Town are sending to the Town Hall.
More than 400 people have signed a petition appealing for
help and are due to meet with ward councillors on Friday.
They say that drug dealing on the corner of Bayham Street
and Camden Road – a notorious haunt highlighted on numerous
occasions by the New Journal – is spilling into residential
streets.
Campaigners have revealed Greenland Road and Carol Street
are hotspots that need most attention. |

| Just
one candidate for controversial job |
 CAMDEN
Council is to put forward just one applicant for the controversial
new post of Children’s Director.
Heather Schroeder (pictured) – currently the Town Hall’s
social services boss – is the only candidate who will
face an interview for the job.
The process will anger school governors who say the job should
have been advertised nationally to maximise their chances
of finding a suitable candidate who has expertise in both
social services and education. |
