Hackney Greens are a friendly group of Hackney residents who work together to represent the green agenda in Hackney, fighting for local issues that affect the people of Hackney. We are an entirely voluntary organisation with no full time staff, the more of us that get involved, the more we can do, everyone is welcome to help us campaign for a fairer, sustainable society.

Last Monday’s decision by Hackney Council’s Scrutiny Panel to dismiss our call-in on the Pembury Circus redevelopment is a profound disappointment and a significant missed opportunity. Despite our compelling case, backed by expert opinion and residents who have traumatic experiences at this junction, the Panel chose to ignore serious concerns about safety, pedestrian access and inadequate cycling provisions, opting against a further independent assessment by Active Travel England, ultimately continuing with a flawed design that puts residents at continued risk.
Hackney Green Party is celebrating by-election success today as candidate Liam Davis is elected to Hackney Council, winning the Stoke Newington seat from Labour in convincing victory. The last time Greens won a by-election from the opposition in London was in 2008.
The Green Party secured a decisive win with 1253 votes, against Labour's 945.

Join us in Dalston as we head out into the ward to knock on doors and tell residents about the great work our Green team are delivering for Hackney!
We will meet outside CLR James Library (on Dalston Square) at 2pm.
During our action day, we knock on residents' doors and speak to residents to get the word out about what Zoë, Alastair and newly elected Liam stand for and listen to their concerns and feedback.
The team will provide a full briefing and training at the start of the event, and you'll be buddied up with someone experienced if you are relatively new. No need to prepare anything in advance, just bring yourself and some comfy shoes.
Send Alfred a message if you'd like to find out more before the event or if you have any access requirements. You an also email [email protected]
