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.
