“I’m so proud that Hackney has put its faith not just in me as the new Mayor of Hackney, but an incredible group of new councillors who believe that Hackney can change for the better.
“My new Cabinet has deep roots across Hackney, reflecting the borough’s diversity, its solidarity, and its communities.
“Together, we were elected on a message of hope for Hackney. The team I have appointed has the passion, talent, and experience to turn that hope into real change.”

The size of the Cabinet has reduced compared with the previous administration, resulting in a saving of over £250,000 over the four-year mayoral term.
