Hackney Quest (3123).Pdf From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Hi, I'm writing to submit research evidence which is highly relevant to the Local Plan. At Hackney Quest, we recently published a detailed research report, Hackney Wick Through Young Eyes, focused on the concerns and ideas of young people in Hackney Wick. I've attached the full version and the 5‐page summary. The report highlights many relevant points for the new London Plan: ‐ The importance of young person‐friendly green spaces ‐ The importance of well‐maintained neighbourhood sports/play facilities ‐ The importance of involving young people in regeneration and change projects ‐ The importance of accessible, achievable & appealing work opportunities for young people ‐ The need to address youth violence in London ‐ The enormous potential there is in the city's neighbourliness and community spirit If you would like further details on our findings or our recommendations, please feel free to get in touch, either via email or on Thanks very much, Luke Luke Billingham Hackney Quest DEVELOPING THE POTENTIAL OF YOUNG PEOPLE, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY N.B.

  • Hackney Planning Watch Response to Proposed
    Hackney Planning Watch Response to Hackney Council on the proposal for the establishment of a Neighbourhood Forum covering the wards of Springfield, New River, Lordship and Cazenove January 2013 1 Introduction: These are our objections to the submitted proposal to formally designate the four wards: Springfield, New River, Lordship and Cazenove as a ‘Neighbourhood Forum’. As we understand it a group describing itself as the ‘Stamford Hill Neighbourhood Forum’ is seeking designation of four wards in Hackney (Springfield, New River, Lordship and Cazenove) as a ‘Neighbourhood Forum’. Hackney Planning Watch wishes to object in the strongest possible terms to this proposal. Although it will be evident from the four wards listed, the area proposed by the ‘Stamford Hill’ Neighbourhood Forum covers a much wider area than Stamford Hill and does in fact include Stoke Newington, Clissold Park and Upper Clapton. Hackney Planning Watch has a long history as a community organisation in the area. It was established over 15 years ago as a community group composed of local residents concerned about planning issues in Hackney, particularly the unlawful construction and the failure of the Council to deal properly with enforcement. In the last year some of our members have attempted to help build a cross-community alliance in order to develop a genuine consensual approach to the difficult planning issues in the area. These include, as well as enforcement issues, the lack of effective management of open space, protection of the environment, particularly in relation to drainage and tree preservation, and inadequate social infrastructure to meet the needs of the population.

The approach for the project was about early, ongoing and honest dialogue with those who live, work and visit the area so that they can influence change in their community. The Conversation focused on two streams of work: Moving around Hackney Central and community mapping exercise. Moving around Hackney Central The Council was previously awarded £10m of funding from Transport for London through the Liveable Neighbourhood Scheme to transform Hackney Central by reducing traffic in the area and redesigning its three dangerous junctions – Pembury Circus, Mare Street/Graham Road and Mare Street/Morning Lane – to make them safer for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users.
