Hackney Central station is the main arrival point for many people into the town centre, used by tens of thousands of people every day. The station has three entrances including the entrance from Amhurst Car Park.
We’re proposing to transform Amhurst Road car park to create a better welcome into Hackney Central and make it easier to access the town centre, and provide new facilities that reflect how people have told us they want to get about in Hackney Central.
We’ve heard from residents and businesses that the arrival points into the town centre and public spaces around the stations are a negative reflection on the area.
There’s huge potential to improve these gateways, complementing the proposed new green corridor through the area and the recent investment to create a second entrance at Hackney Central station.
In April 2023 we surveyed pedestrians travelling through Amhurst Road car park on what improvements they would like to see. Among the ideas suggested were footway resurfacing, more greenery and cycle parking, cleanliness and better lighting and improved crossings. We have also spoken to businesses with direct access from the car park how they use and would like to use the space.
Our proposals include:
We’ll keep you informed about these plans, and the opportunities to help inform the changes that take place.
