The NDF holds regular public meetings and engages with local people through a variety of events including the annual Jester Festival.
The NDF created the Neighbourhood Development Plan for West Hampstead, which was approved by a local referendum and was formally adopted by Camden Council in 2015.
The NDF’s current priorities include the future of the O2 centre, the redevelopment of 156 West End Lane, the site of the former Camden Council offices, and a campaign to get a lift at West Hampstead tube station.
The NDF works closely with WHAT below

WHAT began in 1973 as a single-issue protest against traffic in and around West Hampstead. But we soon realised ‘traffic’ includes everything: buses, tubes, trains, cars, walking, cycling, road safety, pollution; housing, shops, schools, hospitals, doctors, dentists, pubs, leisure, parks, sport.
Today our aim is still to make West Hampstead a better, safer and more pleasant place for everyone. We’ll act to improve whatever needs attention locally – from trees to Tesco, planning to parking, benches to bins, recycling to rentals.
WHAT lobbies relevant organisations – especially Camden Council – to improve local services. We pursue the bus, train and Tube companies, plus TfL and the GLA, for better public transport. Our voice has become well respected over the years.
