News on Hackney Central

Between October and December 2021, 1,150 comments from people who live, work and use Hackney Central, informed us of their priorities for the next ten years in Hackney Central through public events, online surveys, one-to-one conversations and small workshops. This feedback has built on the Hackney Central Conversation in 2019, which saw 2,000 people share their views for the area, and will ensure the changes needed to accommodate new homes and jobs and reflect the needs of local people first.

In response to the feedback so far, we have proposed a Grand Challenge and a series of ‘Missions’ for Hackney Central , covering challenges such as celebrating local character, an inclusive local economy, improving community wellbeing, achieving sustainability, and co-designed development.

We now want to hear your thoughts on these Missions, so please visit https://hcc.commonplace.is/ and take our 3-minute ‘Mission statements and Grand Challenge Survey’.

You can also leave your project ideas for Hackney Central on our interactive project map .

Entries will have the opportunity to win a £50 Hackney Empire voucher. To be considered, ensure that you verify your contact details with Commonplace. Once we have selected a winner we will get in touch via the details you have provided us. The survey and competition will close on Monday 28th February.

Thank you for your support in shaping Hackney Central.
