London Borough of Hackney Council

As we enter a party conference season that it is clear will be dominated by Brexit debates, some no doubt more constructive than others, the 3 million EU nationals living in this country may be feeling that they have become collateral damage in the political fallout from last year’s referendum. Many of them will be worried about what the future holds, and many will feel that they are no longer welcome in the UK

The schemes are part of a new approach to how the Council wants streets to work in Shoreditch which aims to create spaces that are safe and easy to walk or cycle in. It means reducing vehicle dependence and improving air quality.

Hackney Works, the Council’s free employment service, has extended its support to include residents on low incomes as well as those who are out of work.
