Tell us your stories
There has been a lot of change in Hackney over the last 10 to 15 years, so we would like to hear from local residents about what this means for them.
The Council's Chief Executive, Tim Shields said:
“So much has changed in Hackney in recent years. We want to give local people the chance to share their thoughts and feelings about the change. Much of the change has been positive, but Hackney faces many challenges: an affordable housing crisis, a growing population, and massive central government cuts to local public service budgets”.
We would like to capture a variety of personal stories and circumstances to improve our understanding of the impact on local residents.
We would like hear your views about the way the borough is changing and how the change is affecting you, whether positive or negative.
We would also like to hear your ideas about how we can work together to face the challenges, keeping Hackney as a place for all residents. After completing the short questionnaire you can share your ideas by clicking on the SHARE YOUR IDEA button. This will allow you to add you own idea, read and comment on other people’s ideas and rate those you like best.
You can share your own story by completing this short survey.
All the views will be collected and analysed and shared with local decision makers, giving them a fuller picture of local views.
"Question Time" style debate about the future of the borough, featuring a panel of local experts.
The event will take place at City Academy, Homerton.
The event is part of the year-long engagement campaign called ‘Hackney: A place for everyone?’ which launched in March and aims to hear residents views about the challenges facing the borough today.
Hackney Matters members will be asked to give feedback on their experience of the rapid and social economic changes that have affected the borough, and the impact it has had on your lives. We will also be asking for feedback on things that they feel would make a difference in the local area.
