  • Stories of a Hackney Generation
    Diversity Stories of a Hackney Generation CONNECT HACKNEY ageing better Clockwise from top left: Newton Dunbar, Patricia Charlesworth, Centre 151, Harold Rubin, Anita Jacques, Clair Battaglino I hope by sharing these stories, people “living and working in Hackney are inspired to continue to celebrate the diversity the borough holds...” Introduction Connect Hackney works to tackle loneliness and isolation amongst people aged 50 and over. The issue of loneliness and isolation is multifaceted, and personal to each person who experiences it. One way we are tackling the issue is by providing more opportunities for older people to play an active role within their community, showcasing the valuable contributions they make. Hackney is a melting pot of people from a diverse mix of backgrounds, each with their own story of how Hackney became their home. What I’ve personally enjoyed about the Diversity Project is the unearthing of these stories and hearing how Hackney has changed. But within that, also seeing how much Hackney people celebrate the diversity of the borough, with people from different races, cultures, religions and sexual identities living side-by-side. These stories, similar to the ones we shared in our Windrush publication last year, provide an opportunity for these stories to be heard, both now and for generations to come. The more we understand about each other, the more opportunities we create for people to make new social connections, be valued and respected, and lead more fulfilling lives. I hope by sharing these stories, people living and working in Hackney are inspired to continue to celebrate the diversity the borough holds, particularly amongst its older residents; ensuring that no matter where you come from, your religious beliefs, who you love, or your age, you feel welcomed, valued and respected for the person you are.

  • Executive Summary Summer 2014
    Hackney Transport Strategy 2014-2024 Executive Summary Summer 2014 PJ56327 Hackney Transport Strategy 2014-2024 – Executive Summary Executive Summary 1. Introduction 1.1 This is the Hackney’s Transport Strategy 2014‐2024. The Strategy sets out Hackney’s strategic transportation aims, objectives and priorities for 2014‐2024. The Strategy aims to support other Strategies including the Sustainable Community Strategy and the emerging Local Development Framework. 1.2 The vision for Hackney’s Transport Strategy is: “By 2024, Hackney’s transport system will be an exemplar for sustainable urban living in London. It will be fair, equitable, safe and responsive to the needs of its residents and businesses, facilitating the highest quality of life standards for a borough in the Capital and leading London in its approach to tackling its urban transport challenges of the 21st Century.” 1.3 By 2024, this Hackney’s Transport Strategy will have achieved the following goals: I. Hackney is renowned for having the most pedestrian and cyclist friendly neighbourhoods, streets and public realm in London. II. Hackney remains one of London’s most liveable boroughs with green, safe and thriving neighbourhoods, streets and public spaces where different communities get on and interact. III. To have played an important role in improved resident’s health and well being, as well as tackling obesity levels through higher rates of active travel. IV. To have substantially reduced road danger for all our residents but particularly more vulnerable groups such as older people and children and especially vulnerable road users such as cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists. V. To have continued the reduction in car ownership and created an environment where owning a private car is not the norm.
