Mayor of Hackney, Caroline Woodley, has announced changes to her Cabinet to help deliver on her priorities to tackle the housing crisis, combat poverty, and maintain Hackney’s position as a climate leader.

The changes will see Deputy Mayor Guy Nicholson become Cabinet Member for Housing Management and Regeneration, taking responsibility for Housing Services in addition to his existing role. Cllr Clayeon McKenzie will step down after nine years as Cabinet Member for Housing Services and Resident Participation.

Deputy Mayor Anntoinette Bramble will expand her remit to cover children’s services and young people. She will be supported by Cllr Anya Sizer, who takes up a new role as Deputy Cabinet Member for Families, Early Years and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

In Hackney, we continue to call for an end to the death, destruction and suffering we’ve witnessed throughout the conflict in Israel and Palestine, and that continues despite the current status of ceasefire and the desperate need for humanitarian aid.

Hackney is London’s best borough. That’s why I made it my home many years ago, raised my son here, and in 2023 took up the huge honour of becoming Mayor of Hackney.
