Your 2019 comments on Moving Around Hackney Central

The Council was previously awarded £10m of funding from Transport for London through the Liveable Neighbourhood Scheme to transform Hackney Central by reducing traffic in the area and redesigning its three dangerous junctions – Pembury Circus, Mare Street/Graham Road and Mare Street/Morning Lane – to make them safer for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users.

Before the Council formally consulted on the Liveable Neighbourhood scheme, officers wanted to hear residents' experiences of walking, cycling and accessing public transport in the area to feed into how we design the scheme.

Although this funding stream has been paused by Transport for London as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, we have already undertaken work to look at how these measures can now be introduced.

With new funding becoming available, we are reviewing these plans to see how the improvements can be delivered and will engage with residents on these plans.

Feedback and analysis of the Moving around Hackney Central engagement will be used to inform this.
