Vision for Hackney

HEALTHY, SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE STREETS FOR EVERYONE

Let Hackney Council know that their designs for Pembury Circus are inadequate and are not safe for people cycling through the junction. 

Use our template email to send to the Mayor and your local Councillors to demand that they build a better design for all that is safe for all! The decision is due in October 2024, so please take action today! 

The Hackney Vision is a plan to transform our borough and the way people move within it. The vision outlines how we can achieve these goals, benefiting everyone who lives, works and visits Hackney.

We have identified and mapped all the streets in the borough with their current interventions and suggested how the whole of Hackney could be modernised into a borough that puts people first. The proposed changes will reduce health inequalities, increase access to clean air and green space and put walking and cycling into the heart of our communities.

Active streets

The visualisations show how Hackney streets could enable active lifestyles, provide space for social distancing, and create sustainable communities.

Transforming Hackney

  • We want people to enjoy their street, not endure it

  • We want a walk to the shops to be a pleasure, not an ordeal

  • We want more people to have access to green spaces, and streets fit for the 21st century

  • We want people on foot to come first, not last

  • We want children to be able to get to school under their own steam – giving them independence and freedom

  • We want bus journeys to be quick and easy, not clogged by traffic

  • We want the city to keep working, without being dominated by the noise and pollution of through-traffic

  • We want the street to bring the community together

Our vision outlines how we can achieve these goals for Hackney, benefiting everyone who lives, works and visits our borough.
