See above for my weekly round-up of what I’ve been up to in Hackney and Westminster.
Hackney is forecast to have one of the sharpest declines in London in Reception and Year 7 pupil admissions over the next three years. I raised this with the Secretary of State, who rightly acknowledged the need to invest in affordable housing so families can stay in our borough and our schools.
On the doorstep of Ridley Road Market, Dalston Kingsland is one of the only stations on the Mildmay line without a lift. We need to make our station accessible for everyone. I welcomed the Secretary of State for Transport to Dalston to see this for herself and to press for faster action.
The Prime Minister recognised the urgent need for affordable housing in Hackney and praised Hackney Council’s record on housebuilding.
