Proposals for a Brondesbury Park eruv have been given the go-ahead by Camden Council.

The planning committee passed the scheme by a four-to-one majority with two abstentions. West Hampstead Labour councillor Phil Rosenberg said the religious boundary would be "life-changing" for families.

Councillor Rosenberg, who is also Board of Deputies' director of public affairs, described the vote as "a great result for Camden. It shows we're a really inclusive borough, with some of the most innovative infrastructure in the country."

It is hoped the eruv will be operational by Pesach. "With JW3, the Jewish Museum, JHub and now its own eruv, Camden is certainly a great place to be Jewish."
