Podcast feedCamden Councillor Angela Mason talks to CCRadio about Universal Credit
Angela Mason, Camden Councillor and lead on matters concerning children and families, talked with Camden Community Radio about her concerns re the roll out of the Government’s policy of Universal Credit to Camden.
All new claims for Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support, Income-based JobSeekers Allowance, Income-related Employment & Support Allowance and working tax credit will be replaced by Universal Credit and claims will have to be made online rather than in person.
In 2019, all Housing benefit claims, excluding those of pensioners are to be replaced by Universal credit. Early rollout of the scheme suggests that it will drive people into deeper poverty and great hardship.

King's Cross – 'Let Us Through'
Network Rail is about to end one hundred and fifty years of public access through King’s Cross station beginning with the closure, for good, of the entrance to King’s Cross Station in York Way, opposite Wharfdale Road. In April, when protesters gathered at the entrance to demonstrate, Marian Larragy from Camden Community Radio went along to find out why this closure is resented by pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users and people concerned about the environment.
