The beginning of 2005 has been as busy as every for Hackney Independent. We have now registered with the Electoral Commission as a political party, and have had a number of meetings about our activities for the forthcoming year. The next issue of our newsletter is now at the printers (and will appear on this site shortly). Throughout February, members of Hackney Independent surveyed residents of the Geffrye and Harman Street Estates about their experiences of anti-social behaviour. A special "Stanway Independent" newsletter will be produced shortly with a full report.
