Have your say on the future of Hackney’s town centres
Hackney Council is inviting residents and local businesses to share their views about what Hackney Central and Dalston could look like in the future.
During a six-week consultation beginning on 9 March, local residents will be able to comment and share their thoughts about what is liked about the town centres and what is not, and share ideas on the two draft masterplans which describe what the future might look like for these two major town centres in Hackney.
The masterplans will then incorporate this consultation feedback to produce a customised town centre design guidance and planning policy for future developments in each of the two town centres, ensuring that Hackney gets the best from all future development.
The Hackney Central masterplan asks for comments on a number of ideas including ways to improve pedestrian and cycle movement in the town centre, improvements to key sites such as Hackney Central train station and St. John s Churchyard, enlarging public spaces, and more.
The Dalston masterplan is seeking views on ideas such as the creation of a new green avenue, new premises for businesses and cultural activities, creating new play areas and new public spaces, improving pedestrian and cycle routes, and more.
Cllr Guy Nicholson, Hackney Council Cabinet Member for Regeneration and the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, said: “These masterplans attempt to describe what the streets, squares and buildings of Dalston and Hackney Central could look like in the future. The views and ideas of residents and local businesses are vital in helping to shape that future.”
