About the Role
Camden Council is leading the way in sustainable transport and healthy streets initiatives. As a Senior Transport Planner, you will play a key role in delivering two major projects: the Holborn Liveable Neighbourhood programme and the Better, Safer Kilburn scheme. The Holborn LN programme is a £50m+ ambitious project aimed at transforming the area into safe, healthy, accessible, and climate-resilient streets while enhancing public spaces and supporting local businesses and attractions such as the British Museum. The Better, Safer Kilburn scheme is a £12m project focused on making Kilburn town centre safer, more attractive, and environmentally friendly by improving air quality and encouraging walking and cycling.
