<h1>Keeping us on track</h1>We want you to help to shape how we make the Holborn Liveable Neighbourhood project a success.&nbsp;<a href="https://holbornln.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/tell-us-how-you-feel-about-holborn-now/step1">On our survey</a> there are questions asking what success looks like to you. &nbsp;Have you got ideas on how we measure things like traffic levels, air quality or anything else which might reflect how well the project is doing?&nbsp;Tell us on <a href="https://holbornln.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/tell-us-how-you-feel-about-holborn-now/step1">our survey&nbsp;</a>or once you have explored our plans for monitoring below you can feedback on these ideas via <a href="mailto:HolbornLN@camden.gov.uk">HolbornLN@camden.gov.uk</a>To keep us on track we have a set of aims and objectives for the project. These are listed below.

Holborn Vision

<h1>Holborn Vision</h1>We are working closely with Holborn Vision team in Camden who are producing a new supplementary planning document which focuses on the wider Holborn area.&nbsp;<h2>The Holborn Vision</h2>Holborn is going through a some big changes so we have prepared a draft Vision and Urban Strategy. This sets out the Council&#39;s vision, key aims and guidance that can help shape the future of the area.&nbsp;A public consultation on the draft Vision and Urban Strategy was held in 2019. The document is now being reviewed and you can <a data-uw-original-href="https://holbornvision.commonplace.is/" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" href="https://holbornvision.commonplace.is/">find out more on their dedicated website.</a>
