What we’re doing

In 2017, Hackney Council purchased the land at 55 Morning Lane, home to the Tesco supermarket, to ensure greater control over its future redevelopment after Tesco announced plans to sell. Our aim is to deliver new homes, new jobs, and an improved Tesco store, all shaped by the needs and aspirations of the local community. We are preparing a site brief that will outline the essential requirements for any redevelopment, with a strong focus on community involvement in shaping the vision.

Why we’re doing it

55 Morning Lane has been identified in Hackney’s Local Plan as a key site for new development. By working closely with local residents, businesses, and stakeholders, we want to ensure that any redevelopment is driven by the community’s vision and priorities. This project offers the opportunity to provide much-needed affordable homes, jobs, and improved public spaces, while retaining a supermarket and enhancing the town centre.

How we’re doing it

Our commitment to community engagement is at the heart of this project. Hackney Council has appointed Climate Labs as our engagement consultants to lead a collaborative process with local residents, businesses, and stakeholders. Climate Labs will help ensure that the community has a central role in designing the future of 55 Morning Lane.

We are also working towards appointing a design team to explore different redevelopment options, guided by community input. The Council will work alongside Climate Labs to develop plans that reflect the community’s aspirations for the site.

We are committed to keeping the community updated and involved at every stage. There will be multiple opportunities to engage with the project and shape its future. To stay informed about all activities and opportunities to get involved, please sign up for our email list at the link below.

We’ll keep you informed about these plans, and the opportunities to help inform the changes that take place.
