Hackney torch bearer

Hackney's MPs have the chance to nominate Hackney's Olympic torch bearers. Nationally 8,000 citizens will get the chance to carry the coveted Olympic torch on its tour of Britain

‘I have been asked to nominate someone from my constituency and have teamed up with Diane Abbott and the Hackney Gazette to invite constituents and residents to help us make our nominations.

It is a huge task and it seems only right that Hackney residents should have their say.’

If you know anyone who deserves such an honour write to me at meghilliermp@parliament.uk telling me their story in 150 words and saying why I should nominate them, with their name and contact details.
