On Thursday evening at the Town Hall the Street Properties Forum drop-in took place. Residents brought a wide range of individual queries for Asset Management, Leasehold, Housing Management and Repairs. To learn more about the forum and to get involved please email get.involved@hackney.gov.uk 

The Hackney Street Property Forum is back with drop-in surgeries this week on Thursday (25th April) from 5-7pm with guest including Asset Management, Repairs, ASB and Housing Management. This session for those living in Hackney Council street properties is a response to a resident demand at the last forum meetings (photo above) for people to be able to bring their individual queries and to get expert advice from the services named above. If you have any questions or queries please email get.involved@hackney.gov.uk

It is that time of year again Hackney Housing services are offering grants of up to
£500.00 to our resident groups to take part in hosting a Big Lunch style event during May-June 2019. This can be a daytime event or a Lunar Lunch event to include those that may be fasting (Ramadan will be observed by the Muslim community during this period).

The purpose of the day is to encourage residents on your estate to come together
and interact. When organising your events please be mindful that your activities
should be inclusive and benefit all local residents.

All Hackney housing residents groups have been contacted - however, if you think you're eligible and have been missed out or if you have any queries do feel free to get in touch at get.involved@hackney.gov.uk
