Motor Traffic Reduction Scheme for the De Beauvoir Area (Hackney) Consultation Report July 2016 Cycle Superhighway 1: Motor traffic reduction scheme for the De Beauvoir area (Hackney) Consultation Report July 2016 1 CS1 De Beauvoir area Consultation report Executive summary This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of the consultation on the following scheme: ‘Cycle Superhighway 1: Motor traffic reduction scheme for the De Beauvoir area’. Between 6 October and 16 November 2015, we consulted on proposals for changes in the De Beauvoir area as part of Cycle Superhighway Route 1 (CS1). We sent consultation notification letters to 11,000 addresses in the De Beauvoir area, and sent details to approximately 1,000 stakeholders and 50,000 individuals on our email database. We received 1,180 responses to the consultation, of which 57% supported or partially supported our proposals. We received a petition against our proposals signed by 930 people. The petition opposed the closures to motor traffic and called for decisions on traffic management in the area to be evidence-driven. We received a number of identical emails from residents in Islington objecting to the scheme on the grounds that it would displace motor traffic to nearby roads. The main themes raised during consultation are highlighted below, with detailed analysis in Appendix A on p33. Issues raised by respondents Of the 1,180 people who responded to this consultation, 833 provided a comment on the proposals in the open text field. The most frequently raised issues were: • Positive comments, supporting the principle of reducing through motor traffic in the De Beauvoir area, saying the proposals would be beneficial for cycling, pedestrians, residents, road safety and pollution • Concern from people in Hackney and neighbouring borough Islington about motor traffic displacement to nearby roads, with most concern about Southgate Road and Englefield Road. Concerns relating to congestion, road safety and air quality • Concerns the proposal was not necessary due to current closures or motor traffic levels, with calls for measures to reduce motor traffic speed rather than volume • Concern about the effect of the scheme on deliveries to and from businesses and domestic premises, along with the effect on trade • Other issues raised included the potentially negative impact of the closures to motor traffic on crime, buses, schools, churches and emergency services CS1 De Beauvoir area Consultation report 2 • Concern about the safety to pedestrians due to increases in cycling levels, with calls for stricter enforcement of road rules • Comments on issues outside the scope of the De Beauvoir proposal, including the proposed scheme on the A10 / Stamford Road / Tottenham Road • Concerns about the consultation process, including calls to extend the consultation and provide more information on the scheme’s impacts (p25) Our response to issues commonly raised during consultation can be found in Appendix B on p37. Next steps De Beauvoir: After considering all responses and after discussions with Hackney Council, the highway authority for the affected roads, we plan to go ahead with the scheme as proposed with the following changes: • In response to feedback during consultation, we will redesign the junction at De Beauvoir Road / Stamford Road / Englefield Road to allow southbound motor traffic movements • The road closures will be introduced using Experimental Traffic Management Orders, which are valid up to a maximum period of 18 months, the first 6 months of which form a statutory consultation period. Hackney Council will monitor the impact of the changes during the initial 6-month period and will undertake a formal review 6-12 months after implementation, including a further consultation with local residents to determine whether to make the closures permanent, remove the closures, or extend the experimental period We acknowledge that some local people had concerns regarding potential negative impacts of the scheme, particularly regarding motor traffic journeys and congestion. However, we are confident that the overall impact of the revised scheme will be to make the De Beauvoir area a safer and more pleasant place to live, walk and cycle. We acknowledge there are concerns from some residents in Hackney and Islington about motor traffic displacement to nearby roads, and we will work with Hackney Council and Islington Council to monitor any future motor traffic impacts. We are satisfied that the use of Experimental Traffic Orders will provide an opportunity to fully assess the impact of the scheme on roads in De Beauvoir and neighbouring areas without it having being implemented permanently. This method of implementation will also ensure local people have a further opportunity to comment on the scheme once it has been in place for a period of time. We intend to start work on the scheme in autumn 2016, subject to final approvals. We will write to local residents and affected properties before work starts. 3 CS1 De Beauvoir area Consultation report Balls Pond Road: The proposed signalisation of the junction of Culford Road and Balls Pond Road and the two-way segregated cycle track on Balls Pond Road – both proposed as part of the CS1 consultation in February-March 2015 – are still under consideration.

Introduction The 2013 Vision for Cycling contains an ambitious target to double the number of people cycling in Greater London over the next decade. To achieve this growth we are planning a far-reaching programme of cycling provision to make the capital’s streets more attractive for cycling to more people, especially those groups currently under-represented among cyclists, including women, young people and older people. Cycle Superhighways are our flagship cycling programme and aim to provide a London-wide network of direct and high-capacity cycle routes, mostly along main roads, although also using residential and low-traffic roads. The Superhighways provide safer and more comfortable and convenient journeys for anyone on a bicycle and essential links between London’s suburbs and the city centre, and for shorter journeys in between. Working with the London boroughs of Hackney, Haringey and Islington, we consulted on Cycle Superhighway Route 1, a major new cycle route between Tottenham and the City of London, in February-March 2015. After a successful consultation, CS1 will form part of the London-wide network of Cycle Superhighways when it opens in Spring 2016. During the CS1 consultation, further improvements in Hackney and Haringey were identified. Petitions were submitted by local residents, including two calling for greater intervention to address problems with non-local motor traffic (see p37). In October 2015, three motor traffic reduction schemes were put forward for further consultation, with two in Hackney (De Beauvoir area and Wordsworth Road area) and one in Haringey (Broadwater Road). 1.1 Purpose of the scheme All three schemes were designed to reduce motor traffic in local roads, addressing the problem of ‘rat-running’ along the CS1 route. ‘Rat-running’ is a commonly used term for the behaviour of some motorists to reduce their journeys by taking short- cuts through roads less suited to heavy volumes of motor traffic. This can result in relatively minor roads being used by large volumes of non-local motor traffic, particularly at peak times. The three motor traffic reduction schemes would allow some roads to benefit from fewer motor traffic journeys, making them more pleasant places to live, walk and cycle. These closures to motor traffic would also benefit people using CS1, making this route more attractive for cycle journeys. CS1 De Beauvoir Consultation report 6 1.2 Description of the proposals 1.2.1 Overview of the proposals In response to feedback from residents during the CS1 consultation in February- March 2015, we and the London Borough of Hackney sought views on a joint proposal to close five junctions to motor traffic in the De Beauvoir area. The proposals to close the five junctions to motor traffic were aimed

    HACKNEY SOCIAL RADIO – The Story So Far June 2020 – April 2021 SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS During the height of the first COVID-19 lockdown, from June to September 2020, we successfully produced 15 episodes for the first series of Hackney Social Radio – a community radio show created by older people, for older people, specifically aimed at the digitally isolated in the London Borough of Hackney. As the country went into the second lockdown, we re-launched for Series 2 with the intention of supporting our community of makers and listeners for as long as we could. We were fortunate to receive funding from the Henry Smith charity and CAF and will have created 35 episodes for our second series, which ends on 14th July 2021. To date we have produced 41 weekly 59-minute radio show, which broadcast every Wednesday at 11am. Programmes are transmitted through Resonance 104.4FM, played out on their online radio player, and available for ongoing playback through Mixcloud. We enabled 178 local people to participate in the production of the show in the first series and so far, 181 people in the second series – these included the production team, feature makers, feature contributors, editors, and interviewees – local artists and creatives, community activists, volunteers, service users and experts such as representatives from Local Government, GPs, faith leaders, advisors, and community champions. Our contributors have represented the diverse communities of Hackney with features and interviews covering for example Windrush events, Chinese New Year, Jewish and Muslim Festivals. We have covered a wide range of art forms from theatre to photography and music with our 78-year-old DJ playing requests from our listeners.

  • Hackney to Bloomsbury: Mapping the London Left
    Hackney to Bloomsbury: Mapping the London Left BORIS LIMITED WAREHOUSE ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS ESSEX UNITARIAN CHURCH THE ECONOMIST FABIAN SOCIETY Chapter 1: The Other Boris. The People of the Community of Hackney wish to propose vast amendments to the appeal for redevelopment of the Boris Limited Warehouse standing at 87-95 Hertford Road, N1 5AG. What is slated by the developer, Serdnol Properties SA, is quoted as “1,858 square meters of commercial space and nine new build terraced houses”, offering a sea of sameness to the area. Hackney is often described as an up-and-coming neighborhood. Rather, it is in a constant state of flux, and the building in question deserves to be a practical part of its current transition. As the facade stands, a boarded up boundary, somewhat dilapidated with rotting wood and rusted sign, one could imagine a city of squatters, as in the old New York tenements or East London slums, or more historically accurate, the tenants of the adjacent workhouse or personnel of this warehouse. This building has watched with its countenance the transformation of Hackney and the story of the politics of labour through central London which laid the foundation for its construction as an integral part not only of London’s history but of the lineage of western socialism. Boris Limited is not an icon, no great architect conceived its structure, no famous author resided there, and no great political movement hatched from an embryo within its walls. But what it stands for, the historic web which emanates from it and what its face has subsequently witnessed is the narrative of the development of socialism and modernity in the post-Eurocentric city.

Though 44% of the 885 London parks we surveyed are completely free from the sound of traffic, almost a third (29%) are severely impacted by noise from nearby roads.
