• READING Camden Council’s Kentish Town District Management Committee, DMC, report for September, I saw reports from the following…

1) Senior Tenant Participation Office…
2) Head of Neighbourhoods…
3) Project Manager Estate Services…
4) Senior Neighbourhood Manager…
5) Head of Security…
6) Head of Capital Works…
7) Head of Repairs and Operations…
8) Head of Property Customer Services and Engagement…
9) Director of Housing…
10) Neighbourhood Housing Manager…
11) Health and Safety Adviser…
12) Repairs Manager…
13) Senior Development Manager…
14) Head of Green Space…
15) Principal Caretaking Manager…
16) Head of Finance…
17) M&E Operations Manager…
18) Head of Allocations, Lettings, & Private Housing Services…
19) Team Leader Regeneration…
20) Service Manager Information Governance…
21) Senior Energy Management Officer…
22) Head of Innovations & Improvements…
23) Head of Housing Transformation…

A massive team of managers and heads – their wages must amount to a tidy sum at a time when the Town Hall’s budget is said to be in a parlous state.

And yet I wonder how many Camden residents feel reassured that their council tax is being well spent.
