Hackney Today, Hackney Life and Our Homes
After more than 25 years, some 500 editions, weekly London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games coverage, and a global pandemic, Hackney Today – the Council’s quarterly newspaper – and its sister publications, Hackney Life and Our Homes, have now closed.
The last edition was in May 2022.

Update on Hackney Today legal challenge
The Council has received the Court of Appeal’s decision on its request to appeal a High Court ruling that it stop fortnightly publication of Hackney Today, as directed by the government. The Court of Appeal judge has rejected the request. There are no more legal options available to the Council, so Hackney Today will no longer be published fortnightly, but on a quarterly basis.
Hackney Life will be published during the other 8 months a year. In accordance with the government’s direction, Hackney Life will focus on providing information, not news, and statutory notices will be published in the local press.
