"In just over a week, #Hackney will go to the polls to elect a new council. As in every election, myriad issues will decide the result – but here, #Palestine may well be one of them."

“The camp became a space for Hackney groups to offer educational workshops to the community. The camp was first and foremost about divestment, but it also became about community and working together for the protection of everyone’s human rights”

Im Londoner Bezirk #Hackney versorgt ein Pilotprojekt #Sozialwohnungen über lokale #Mikrogrids mit #Solarstrom.

Nach regulatorischen Anpassungen können #Haushalte direkt beliefert werden und sparen laut Council rund 15 Prozent bei den #Energiekosten. Das Modell soll auf weitere Gebäude ausgeweitet werden. Auch landesweit wächst die Zahl von #CommunityEnergy-Initiativen.

@Smirf We used this sign on the cover of our book (https://ghostsigns.co.uk/book). Inside it includes the text pictured.

The page linked above also has a map of all known ghost signs in London that @RoyReed maintains with periodic input from me, in case you want to identify some spots around town for a wander.

If you live in #Hackney and *really* like either #TheSmiths, #Blur, #TheCranberries, #KaiserChiefs, #Babyshambles, #Courteeners, #StephenDuffy, The mighty lemon drops, #Triffids, #Pretenders, #Sleeper, #Suede, #NewOrder or #TheZutons then you should email your councillors to have a highway named Stephen Street Street after the producer of the above acts.
It would both recognise an artist who was born in Hackney according to Wikipedia, as well as obviously being funny, and also increase tourism

As I am still on an extended #introduction: if Town Halls and Civic Centres are your thing, here are three things I have written which may be of interest...

First, Hackney Town Hall, which has been beautifully restored: https://lccmunicipal.com/2018/06/12/as-good-as-new-hackney-town-hall/

Second, Hounslow Civic Centre, which has been sadly demolished:
https://lccmunicipal.com/2019/03/26/full-circle-celebrating-hounslow-civic-centre/

Finally, neither restored nor completely demolished, the former Camberwell Town Hall:
