Hackney Is Yours events

Overview

As part of Hackney Is Yours, we are holding drop-in sessions around the borough so you can come and talk to us in person about Hackney's future.

At a drop-in you can:

  • ask questions about the Borough Plan and Local Plan
  • tell us what you value about Hackney
  • share what you think should be protected, improved or changed
  • complete one of our surveys
  • find out more about the plans and how to stay involved.

What is a drop-in?

Our drop-ins are informal sessions where you can come and speak to the team at any point during the advertised time.

You do not need to book or stay for the whole session.

We'll also be out and about across Hackney

Alongside the advertised drop-ins, the Hackney Is Yours team will also be running a number of informal pop-ups in busy locations around the borough, including high streets and markets.

These are designed to reach people while they are out and about, so you may spot us in your neighbourhood during the engagement period.
