Administrative/Biographical history:

The London Boroughs Children's Regional Planning Committee was based at the Town Hall in Euston Road. It was responsible for the preparation and implementation of regional plans for community homes and for intermediate treatment schemes. It acted as agent for the London Boroughs Association in inspecting private homes for children in care.

The London Boroughs Association was formed in 1964 to provide a forum in which the London boroughs could discuss common problems, coordinate their activities and express their views corporately to the Greater London Council and the government.
