Mayor confirms changes to Cabinet portfolios

The Mayor of Hackney, Philip Glanville, has confirmed some changes to the portfolios of Hackney’s Cabinet Members.

Mayor Glanville said: “The changes to Cabinet roles and responsibilities formalise some of the extra duties members have taken on over the last year and bring together the services and areas of work that are delivering on some of our key manifesto pledges.

“Air quality, transport and environmental sustainability are among my top priorities, so it makes sense for these to all sit together under one portfolio, led by Cllr Burke, while parks and leisure are fundamental to our ambitions around public health and our preventative approach to adult social care, led by Deputy Mayor Demirci.

“I’d like to thank Cllr Demirci for her work on the public realm and transport portfolio, which she has held since 2010. Over the last nine years she has worked tirelessly to reclaim Hackney’s roads for pedestrians and cyclists, making our borough a safer and greener place for the people who live here. Our groundbreaking schemes, including School Streets, Play Streets and traffic filtering are being replicated across the country, and I know Cllr Burke is looking forward to continuing this legacy.

“The formal inclusion of food poverty in Cllr Kennedy’s portfolio reflects our focus on this vital piece of work. Cllr Nicholson’s work on inclusive economy demonstrates our ongoing commitment to ensuring everyone in Hackney benefits from our growing economy. His new portfolio also includes a greater focus on our expanded cultural offer, with our amazing Hackney Museum, libraries and archive service to maxmise our impact and reach in the community.

“The refreshed portfolios will equip us to continue making progress against the manifesto I was elected on in 2018.”
