of 35 year old Pierluigi Campioni (pictured) who died on Friday
14the June as a result of injuries sustained in an attack in Camden
Lock on Friday 7th June at about 11:20 pm. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The victim, who is of Italian origin, received a
serious stab wound when he was assaulted on the South Tow Path between
the Soho Bar and the Ice Wharf pub in Camden Lock. Three white males,
aged between 20 and 30, are believed to have been involved in the
incident. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Detective Chief Inspector Allan Aubeelack said:
"We urge these three men to come forward and indeed any other witnesses
who were present on this busy Friday night. This is a pointless
death following what appears to be an unprovoked attack" </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Anyone with any information is asked to contact
the Incident Room at Barnes on 0208 247 7911 or call Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800 555 111</font></p>

<p><font size="1">Nature-lovers from all over Camden will be coming
together on 17th June to launch a plan to protect local habitats
- and 2002 is the year of the sparrow in Camden. The Camden Biodiversity
Action Plan contains a series of specific action plans to protect
bats, house sparrows, stag beetles, hedgehogs, dragonflies and damselflies,
as well as habitats in parks, woodlands, gardens and churchyards,
and those alongside canals and railways. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The House Sparrow Action Plan is the first specific
action plan to get underway - and is well-timed because 2002 is
'The Year of the House Sparrow' in Camden. Sparrows are disappearing
from London's streets and parks at a worrying rate. The plan will
offer opportunities for people in Camden to get involved, growing
things that sparrows eat and building and installing boxes for sparrows
to nest in. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Helping to launch it will be children from Fleet,
Rhyl and St Albans Primary Schools, who will be giving performances
of poetry and drama about species that need protecting. The children
will also be making sparrow nesting boxes, which will later be presented
to London Zoo. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Celebrity couple Imelda Staunton, star of new movie
'Crush' and husband Jim Carter, who was in 'Shakespeare in Love',
will also be coming along to launch the House Sparrow Action Plan.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">All the action plans will include children's events
and practical conservation tasks, such as: planting trees and hedgerows;
building stag beetle habitats; wildlife gardening campaigns; bat
talks and walks; and projects in school grounds and with local tenants'
and residents' groups. </font></p>

Primrose Hill thwarts Starbucks- 05/06/02</font></b></td>

<p><font size="1">Primrose Hill has proved it's still a real neighbourhood
by seeing off a bid to open a new Starbucks in a battle reminiscent
of the fight in Hampstead to halt McDonalds. The difference this
time is that Primrose Hill objectors, including Jude Law, Joan Bakewell
and singer Neneh Cherry, have won their fight against a global giant.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Camden Council received more than 1,300 objections
to a planning bid from Starbucks to open a new 58-seat outlet in
Regent's Park Road. The Primrose Hill conservation area advisory
committee told the council that the American coffee-shop chain was
not in keeping with the village feel of Primrose Hill. They also
highlighted the potential threat to independent caf�s in the area.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Caroline Cooper, chair of the Regent's Park Road
and Primrose Hill Association, said that many local people were
opposed to Starbucks coming to the neighbourhood and that people
had been very willing to sign the petition opposing the new caf�.
Writer </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Alan Bennett, who lives in the area, said that he
did want to see the area homogenised and that the independent shops
and caf�s in Primrose Hill should be treasured. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Starbucks issued a statement saying, "Starbucks
cares about the views of the communities of which we are a part.
We feel sorry at the level of animosity shown towards Starbucks
in Primrose Hill. We hoped to make a positive contribution to the
area and local economy by providing local jobs and offering an environment
for people to get together. We do not feel it would be appropriate
to open the store in the current climate." </font></p>
