Tell Us Your Views on Hackney's Night Life

The Living in Hackney Scrutiny Commission is completing a review of how the Council manages the impact of late-night entertainment in the borough.

The ‘night time economy’ in Hackney includes pubs, bars, restaurants, cinemas, nightclubs, and live music venues. Areas like Shoreditch and Dalston have vibrant night lives, and whilst this attracts visitors and business to the area it also causes problems for local residents and pressure on public services.

The Commission is keen to hear the views of local residents as part of this review, as well as those going out in Hackney at night.

An online survey has been set up for residents to share their views to be included in this review. The online survey can be found here.

At the end of this review the Commission’s councillors will make recommendations about how services can be improved, based on the evidence they have heard.
