I’ve joined councillors and council climate leads in signing @uk100.org Climate Pledge - we’re calling on @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social to include a climate and nature duty in English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill and the funding to deliver it. We’re tackling climate change right now.

Sunny Autumnal Sunday ride this morning with @hackneylcc.bsky.social around @hackneycouncil.bsky.social liveable neighbourhoods and along routes that make cycling such a joy in Hackney. Lots of people out walking and enjoying the sunshine too. Thanks for inviting me. (Photos taken on the move!)

Good news www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/2557821...

The Unitarian Chapel in Newington Green is holding a multi faith 24-hour vigil tonight, reading the names of all (recorded) who have died in Gaza and Israel since 7 October 2023. Reading each person’s name and age felt like a small but powerful act of shared mourning.

Thanks @willnorman.co.uk - really pleased with all the improvements on Whiston Road.

For anyone who missed Juliet Coley’s launch of this year’s @hackneycouncil.bsky.social #BlackHistoryMonth season, this is a real treat - made me feel honoured to live in Hackney: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uadW...

Enjoying our new Voi dockless bikes (£1.75 for journeys in Hackney) as well as the new cargo bike for hire on Chatsworth Road: www.ourbike.co.uk/locations run by the @zeroemissions.bsky.social

www.cyclesisters.org.uk/post/switchi... Good tips from Cycle Sisters for starting cycling. And they’re looking for 2 trustees if you’re interested and think you have something to offer: www.cyclesisters.org.uk/vacancies.

Bedding down for the night with Hackney Winter Night Shelter for their annual sleepout to highlight homelessness and raise much-needed funds. The shelter gives homeless people in Hackney a welcome bed, food and support into housing. You can donate here: www.justgiving.com/page/hackney...

Walking past our new solar panels this morning - they’re on Frampton Park Estate, Wren’s Park Estate and Whiston Estate. If you know people who live here, invite them to check out the offer of cheaper cleaner energy: www.solar4flats.com/hackney

We asked Hackney primary school kids to design a poster to stop people from leaving their dog poo on the pavement and in parks. Here are some of the ace posters they sent. You’ll be seeing the winning designs on lampposts soon. #lovehackney❤️ love our streets. @hackneycouncil.bsky.social

Very busy on Ivy Street first thing in the mornings with everyone rushing to school and work: scooting, walking and cycling. Hoxton E cllrs are working with LB Hackney to make sure everyone can share this little street safely. @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @anyasizer.bsky.social

Come and see this Low Carbon Chinatown exhibition in Hackney’s Service Centre (just behind the town hall). It’s beautifully designed and gives us 100 climate actions to discuss and think about. Great to see the food growing and cooking of Gainsborough School kids too - homemade ketchup!

Dockless bikes need to be parked properly, not blocking the pavement. If you see a badly parked Lime or Voi bike, please report it to report.voi.com or email [email protected] or reportaproblem.hackney.gov.uk news.hackney.gov.uk/news/dockles...

A visit to Umit on Lower Clapton Rd for help repairing our ancient Super 8 projector. Umit’s www.cine-real.com at Clapton Castle is definitely “the best movie night in town” as Time Out says.
