    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.

However, it is also a city well-served by open spaces. There are numerous small parks which provide relief retreat from city life, while areas such as Richmond Park and Riverside, Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest and Wimbledon Common are real recreational treasures. Although not so obviously popular, many of our cemeteries and churchyards provide a much overlooked such amenity. Many of those established in Victorian times were designed to be used as places of recreation by the public as well as places of burial. Many are still in use and remain beautiful and interesting places for quiet walks. Some, on ceasing active use for burials, have been developed as wildlife sanctuaries and community parks. As is the case with parklands, there are some especially splendid cemeteries in the capital which stand out from the rest. I would personally recommend the City of London, Islington and St.

    Image © Rob Sambrooks Image © Rob Hackney Biodiversity Action Plan 2012-17 black 11 mm clearance all sides white 11 mm clearance PJ46645 all sides CMYK 11 mm clearance all sides Councillor Introduction Cllr Jonathan McShane, Cabinet Member for Health and Community Services Cllr Sophie Linden, Cabinet Member for Crime, Sustainability and Customer Services It gives us great pleasure to introduce the first Hackney Biodiversity Action Plan. This document sets out the guiding principles of how Hackney Council and our partners will work to protect and enhance the wildlife and natural environment of the Borough. The Action Plan has been developed by the Council in collaboration with the Hackney Biodiversity Partnership. Hackney’s open spaces and structures provide homes for a range of common and rare wildlife, including birds, bats and plants. The Biodiversity Action Plan is about more than protecting our wildlife. Biodiversity contributes to our health and wellbeing, provides places for us to enjoy and helps us to adapt to the threat of climate change. This Biodiversity Action Plan identifies the key issues for biodiversity and clearly sets out how we will work to improve our open spaces and built environment. Working in partnership we will raise awareness of the value of our biodiversity, ensure that our green and open spaces are resources that all of our residents can enjoy and promote the wider benefits that biodiversity can provide. Hackney’s environment helps to define the Borough. It is important that we continue to strive to protect and improve our biodiversity, responding to the needs and aspirations of Hackney and its residents in the years to come.

  • London's Lost Rivers: the Hackney Brook and Other North West
    London’s Lost Rivers: The Hackney Brook and other North West Passages Transcript Date: Monday, 22 June 2009 - 12:00AM London's Lost Rivers: The Hackney Brook and Other North West Passages by Iain Sinclair I would like to give a warning, that this will not be a formal lecture. Instead, this talk will be the equivalent of a walk: I will walk through my knowledge and my instincts, such as they are, and, though I am going to talk about lost rivers in general, I will talk mainly about one river in particular, the Hackney Brook. This river actually forms the inspiration for a large book I have just published, called Hackney: That Rose Red Empire. It is the kind of underlying secret history of the place, and from an idea of thinking about that river, I will also take in some wider sense of London and its fantastic collection of lost rivers. I am confronted with the subject of what is now seen often as a difficult borough, a working class borough that was on the slide, with an awkward council and a history of independent thought; a big, large, sprawling borough called Hackney. What that borough was originally was quite a desirable suburb. It was outside the City walls. It had a lot of market gardens. It had large houses, with orchards, and a tradition of pastoral framework - and that was all simply because of a river, which is now a lost river, called the Hackney Brook. I am going to give you the history of my engagement with the Hackney Brook, but I think we should, first of all, take the idea of the lost river as a whole, as a whole of London.

  • Smalley Close
    Smalley Close LONDON SOLD This wonderful two-bedroom apartment unfolds within a Grade II-listed townhouse in the centre of Stoke Newington. Surrounded by greenery, the home can be found on Smalley Close and has leafy views over Stoke Newington Common, as well as its own private, west-facing garden to the rear. Including an extensive basement level (which could be converted subject to the necessary permissions) the living space extends over 1,860 sq ft. The current owner has completed a sensitive restoration to create a light-filled maisonette – which arguably feels more like a house – that is wonderfully suited to contemporary life. +44 (0)20 3687 3071 — inigo.com — [email protected] Smalley Close LONDON SOLD Setting the Scene Listed in 1969, this three-storey terrace flanks one side of the verdant Stoke Newington Common. The terrace was built in the late 18th century, circa 1787; the houses are particularly notable for their handsome London stock-brick façades and large sash windows, each crowned by contrasting and decorative red brick. Originally called Cockhanger Green, the common was renamed as the area was developed during the Victorian era. It became Shacklewell Common, then Newington Common and is now the much-loved Stoke Newington Common, a stretch of land of around five acres and a lovely place to bask in the sun. The Grand Tour Entrance to the house is from Smalley Close, where a gate leads into the rear garden of the apartment. The lawn is framed with floral borders and has a recently added York stone pathway that leads to the maisonette.
