We Love Hackney

Our fight is about the future of Hackney. Corporate, stagnant, homogeneous - or independent, fun & diverse. For the older and affluent - or for everyone, including the young. Decide, then donate ---> crowdjustice.com/case/welovehac…

We hear a lot about pubs closing but, in the last 10yrs, we've lost 50% of our music venues in London. Please share if you too are concerned about what's happening and sign up to support the @WeLoveHackney campaign for a better night time for all. egi.co.uk/news/cooking-u…

London’s local authorities should be supporting this booming creative industry - not throwing up new barriers. #LDNchefs

@CrowdJustice @LeighDay_Law And we couldn’t have got this far without you! 👊

Legal battle: Residents' group @WeLoveHackney has been granted a judicial review into the borough's licensing policy #ukpubs morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2019/0…

@bitter69uk This means a lot - thank you 🙏

This group is doing *actual* work to salvage and protect East London's vivid and creative nightlife against #HackneyCouncil's ridiculous, draconian licensing policies. Shame our highly-paid @nightczar seemingly is unable or incapable! #Hackney

@thekaiju Glad too... it’s really important and we’ve had AMAZING support. 👊👊

Right. Just ended a five hour stint in this building, fighting for our thousands of local supporters and making case that nightlife clampdown kills: 🚫 Youth jobs 🚫 Diversity 🚫 Culture

We’re not getting a decision today. The judge has retired to consider and will issue her ruling soon, probably next week. In the meantime, please keep spreading the word and remind your #Hackney friends they can sign up here: welovehackney.org #savenightlife #welovehackney

Our fight is CLEARLY in the public interest. Sadly Hackney continues to run up outrageous legal costs in an apparent effort to scare us off and avoid a full hearing.

Big Up to everyone at the High Court today @WeLoveHackney challenging the outrageous attempt by some at Hackney Council to stifle creativity. So expensive & tough; but this should remind all we can’t be bulldozed. Please support! #WeLoveHackney #SaveNightlife #EventsMatter

We’ve adjourned for lunch. Our brilliant legal team have presented our case - Hackney’s turn after lunch. Thanks to everyone who’s been in touch this morning with support! #savenightlife
