Hoxton Election Results

We'd like to thank everyone who came out to vote on Thursday 6 May to vote for us to continue representing them as  all Labour councillors.  More of you came than did in previous elections and in record numbers.


We are also proud that you voted to re-elected Jules Pipe as Labour Mayor of Hackney. The result of the mayoral election can be found here.  You also voted to return Meg Hillier as your MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch.  Her results are available here. 

We're honoured by the responsibility and confidence that you have shown in so convincingly re-electing us.  Carole has been returned for a third term and Phil and Clayeon have been returned for a second term. There has been so much progress made since we became councillors for the ward in 2002 and 2006 and there's lots more still to do.

Our Pledges for Hoxton

Yesterday we wrote about Hackney Labour's election manifesto. Today, we want to let you know about the 5 elections pledges that we are making to our electors Hoxton. They are:

• To invest in green spaces in Hoxton - the next phase of Shoreditch Park's renewal, more allotments and growing spaces on estates.
• Ensure Thomas Fairchild School is rebuilt
• Tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in Hoxton, particularly street drinking and dog fouling
• Support the local economy, including local shops, the market and re-opening Murray Grove Post Office
• Continue to improve estates in Hoxton with residents' priorities at the heart of our housing service

We believe that our pledges build on the work that we've been doing in Hoxton over the last council term and we want to build on them.
