The role also includes the delivery of the boroughs bus priority measures (new and improved bus lanes/corridors). The Safe &amp; Healthy Streets team at Camden is at the forefront of Healthy Streets based project delivery and in the recent&nbsp;Healthy Streets Scorecard&nbsp;Camden was the third placed borough overall.
