We asked you for feedback on our design proposals to improve the play area in Clapton Square.

Work will start in autumn 2022.

We asked the public for feedback on a draft Parks and Green Spaces Strategy. We wanted to check we’d got the focus right and that you supported the draft vision and commitments. We also included lots of open text questions to give you room to tell us your views, ideas and priorities.
Although the pandemic changed the way we undertook engagement, we were really pleased that 967 of you took part by filling in the survey, attending focus groups, or emailing in your feedback.
You told us you liked the look and feel of the strategy and how it had been co-designed with residents, staff, stakeholders and young people.
You told us you agreed with the commitments we had made around community engagement and environmental sustainablity. However you also told us we needed to place a greater emphasis on getting the basics right like safety, litter and public toilet facilities.
We used the comments, feedback and insight people shared with us to redraft the strategy, which was adopted by cabinet on 24 May 2021.
We asked unpaid adult carers about what they think an excellent service for adult carers in Hackney would look like.
You told us your thoughts on what is working well, what the barriers are and what needs to be improved.
We have used this valuable feedback to shape the design of the new service to give carers a better service in the future.
Shall we change the name of Hackney Road Recreation Ground to honour Thomas Fairchild?
What do you think about holding a market in the space and what kind of market should it be?
Why do you not use Hackney Road Recreation Ground?
Yes lets honour Thomas Fairchild and change the name of the space to Fairchild's Garden.
We think a farmers market would work well in the space.
Hackney Road Recreation Ground is unwelcoming and is not a very nice place to spend time.
We will offically change the name of the space and install new welcome signage.
We will explore the logistics of holding a farmers market in the space.
We will continue to look for funding to improve the park and make it more welcoming.
