Went to see London Renters Union showing of their film Hostile Housing today - powerful stories of pain and suffering in the housing crisis. Good to see many Hackney Labour policies align with Renters Union’s work - calling for rent controls and landlord licensing in Hackney.

The Unitarian Chapel in Newington Green is holding a multi faith 24-hour vigil tonight, reading the names of all (recorded) who have died in Gaza and Israel since 7 October 2023. Reading each person’s name and age felt like a small but powerful act of shared mourning.

Thanks @willnorman.co.uk - really pleased with all the improvements on Whiston Road.
Between 2019-23, 30 people were injured in collisions on Whiston Road in Hackney - including a tragic fatality.
