Mayor Woodley: new government funding will help Hackney thrive
Why we've welcomed today's announcement on Fair Funding for local councils.
I welcome today's announcement regarding the Fair Funding multi-year settlement for local councils. I’ve been working with leaders across London to help secure funding where we have the greatest need, that allows us to plan ahead, and enables us to serve all our residents.
In Hackney, the funding announced today sets out a 25% increase in core funding over the 2024/25–2028/29 period. This will help us to continue providing the hundreds of vital services – from street cleaning to parks, libraries, youth clubs and community hubs – at the heart of what makes Hackney thrive.
I look forward to working with the government on my priorities for Hackney, tackling the housing crisis, poverty and climate change and especially welcome the ongoing commitment to reform children’s services and adult social care.
Caroline Woodley, Mayor of Hackney
