Dervis (front left) and Lauren (front right) with pupils from Gayhurst primary
PRIMARY school pupils were
joined by elite swimmers
to celebrate 500 days to go
until the start of the 2012
Paralympic Games.
Medallist and lifelong Hackney
resident, Dervis Konuralp, and
2012 hopeful, Lauren Smith,
met children from Gayhurst
primary at London Fields Lido.
Paralympic tickets are due
to go on sale in September.
Games organisers have
announced a whole range
of measures to ensure that
disabled sports fans and their
friends and family can attend
their chosen event.
There is also still time for
residents to apply for tickets to
the Olympics, which can cost
as little as £16.

CRIME 12-YEAR LOW
RIME in Hackney
is at its lowest
level for 12 years,
according to the
latest figures.
Met Police statistics for
2010/11 show there was
a 2.5 per cent reduction in
total offences in Hackney
– which means 700 fewer
crimes. Offences have
fallen by 11,000 in nine
years, one of the largest
overall reductions in
London. Hackney Police
Borough Commander,
Chief Superintendent Steve
C
Bending, said: “When
talking about percentages
it is easy to forget that
what is actually achieved
is a significant reduction
in the number of victims
of crime and an increase
in the number of criminals
being brought to justice.
“Surveys of Hackney
residents continue to
show very high levels of
confidence in the local
police. We do not take
any of these successes
for granted and this year
will see Hackney Police
continue to fight and
investigate crime and
support victims to the very
best of our ability.”
There were four murders
in Hackney, compared
to eight in 2009. Serious
sexual offences dropped
by 30 (10 per cent); and
serious violence by 122
(26 per cent). Residential
burglary, which saw a rise
in 2009/10, was down by
137 offences (9 per cent).
Gun crime, which rose by
54 offences in 2009/10,
was also down by 78 (43
per cent). Serious youth
violence was down by
53 offences (21 per cent);
and domestic violence
by 348 offences (18 per
cent). Racist or religious
hate crime was down by
67 offences (17 per cent),
while there were 14 fewer
homophobic offences (25
per cent).
Mayor of Hackney, Jules
Pipe, said: “I’m pleased
that violent crime, gun
crime and crime overall,
have fallen significantly.
Alongside this overall drop
I’m also encouraged to
see that more perpetrators
of traditionally underreported crimes such as
domestic violence are
being punished. However,
we recognise there is still
more to be done and we
are committed to working
with our partners to make
Hackney a safer place.”
Some of the issues to
be tackled include knife
crime, which rose by six
per cent, and motor vehicle
theft which increased by
three per cent.

Targeting
crime on
the street
A
TARGETED
police initiative in
Manor House has
seen some crimes
fall by nearly 80 per cent
during a six-month period.
A ‘dispersal zone’
focused on the Hackney
side of Manor House Tube
station came into force on
20 September last year.
The police and Council
joint initiative came in
response to local concerns
around anti-social
behaviour and a rise in
cash-point robbery.
The operation resulted
in personal robbery, theft
against the person, and
harassment falling by 77
per cent, compared to the
previous six months.
Creating a dispersal zone
gives police the power to
ask groups of people to
move along where their
behaviour has caused
or looks likely to cause
harassment, alarm or
intimidation.
Over the six month
period, 350 notices to
disperse were given, with
21 arrests made.
Chief Inspector Jane
Easton, of Hackney
Police, said: “Although the
operation has now come to
an end, Hackney Police will
continue to work with our
partners at the Council to
monitor the area closely.”
Cllr Sophie Linden,
Cabinet Member for
Crime, Sustainability
and Customer Services,
added: “These results are
extremely encouraging, and
demonstrate how working
together and targeting
resources can have a
positive effect on crime and
anti-social behaviour.”
Police will continue to
work with our partners at
the Council to monitor the
area closely
Police have been delivering burglary warnings to homes
Burglary warning for residents
RESIDENTS are reminded to be extra vigilant, amid concerns
that burglars may target empty properties during bank holidays.
Hackney Police and the Council suggest the following:
• Keep keys, valuables and ID documents away from doors,
windows and letter boxes
• Always lock doors and windows when leaving the house
• Leave a light on a timer if going away for more than a day,
and keep a light on if you’re coming home after dark
• If you have a burglar alarm, use it
• Keep sheds, back gates and outdoor buildings locked
• Cancel milk and paper deliveries if going away
• Mark or etch valuable property with your postcode and house
number and register items at: www.immobilise.com
• If you see anyone using the scaffolding on your home outside
normal working hours, call: 999. Let your insurers know if you
have scaffolding erected.
Planning for the future
OPTIONS to minimise the
impact of possible flooding
in the borough are being
assessed by the Council
in partnership with the
Environment Agency.
All councils across
the country have a
responsibility to prepare
for and manage possible
flooding since the Flood
and Water Management
Act 2010 came into effect.
A study is to be carried
out after the Council
agreed that funding
from the Department of
Environment, Food and
Rural Affairs should be
used for it.
An initial report
suggested that two possible
ways to alleviate risk in
Hackney Wick could be to
excavate an area of land on
Hackney Marshes adjacent
to the Lea Navigation,
and to construct a flood
defence wall on the west
of the Lea Navigation in
Hackney Wick. There has
been no serious flooding in
the area for 64 years, but it
is important the Council is
prepared.
Much more detailed
technical work will be
carried out by the Council
to determine the most
appropriate measures
before a decision is made.
The Council will engage
Hackney Marshes
with community groups
as part of this work. It will
also continue the multimillion pound investment
into the Marshes to ensure
residents can enjoy the
area’s biodiversity and
take part in sports and
leisure activities.

Royal academy visit
A
120-year-old
Hackney school
has officially
unveiled its new
building, packed full of the
latest classroom facilities.
Skinners’ Academy, in
Woodberry Down, was
declared open on 12 April
with a ceremony attended
by pupils, staff and an
array of dignitaries.
The £27.2million
academy replaces
the former Skinners’
Company’s School for
Girls in Stamford Hill.
Now a mixed school,
the new building design
incorporates eco-friendly
features including highly
insulated walls, natural
ventilation, a biomass
boiler, water conservation
and biodiversity roofs.
With a 1.4 hectare
site, it caters for around
1,150 students and
overlooks nearby
Alexandra Park.
The Duke of
Gloucester unveiled
a plaque to mark
the official opening.
Academy Principal,
It’s more open and light,
which makes it easier to learn.
I like it so much I am planning
to stay for Sixth Form
Jenny Wilkins, said:
“The vision to achieve
a first class learning
environment fit for the
21st century has been
secured in this wonderful
learning campus where
our students will have
the opportunity to learn,
succeed and realise their
potential in our ever
changing society.”
Student Samroz Umar,
16, said: “This building
is very different to where
we were in Stamford Hill.
It’s much more open and
light which makes it easier
to learn. I like it so much I
am planning to stay here
for Sixth Form.”
The academy
is sponsored by
Skinners’ Company,
a livery firm dating
back more than 700
years.
The new school
forms part of the
Council-led regeneration
of Woodberry Down,
which includes social
rented, private and
shared ownership homes,
community and health
facilities, an extended
primary school, and
retail and commercial
opportunities.
THE killers who gunned
down 16-year-old Agnes
Sina-Inakoju in a Hoxton
takeaway have been jailed
for life.
Leon Dunkley, 22, and
Mohammed Smoured, 21,
were both found guilty of
murder and possessing
a firearm with intent to
endanger life. They were
sentenced to 32-year
minimum terms at the Old Victim Agnes was considered
Oxbridge material by her school
Bailey on 12 April.
The court heard how the shooting on 14 April last year was
sparked by a gang feud. The killers, who were in the London
Fields gang, had gone to Hoxton Street, N1, in search of
rival gang members to avenge an earlier attack on one of
their group. They cycled up to the Hoxton Chicken and Pizza
shop, where Dunkley pulled out a sub-machine gun and fired
through the window, believing rival gang members were
inside. Innocent bystander, Agnes, was shot in the neck and
fatally wounded. The murder weapon had been used in six
other shootings, the court heard.
Two teenagers were convicted of holding weapons on
behalf of older members of the London Fields gang. Dwayne
Wisdom, 17, was found guilty of assisting an offender,
possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and
possession of an imitation firearm. A 16-year-old boy, who
cannot be named for legal reasons, was also found guilty of
possession of a prohibited firearm. They will be sentenced at
a later date.
Detective Chief Inspector John Crossley said: “Agnes was
a totally innocent victim who had her whole future ahead of
her. These convictions can only be achieved by the courage
of members of the public coming forward to give vital
evidence. I would like to thank them for the courage they
have shown. I would finally like to pay tribute to Agnes’s
family for the dignity they have shown and our thoughts are
with them during this time.”
In a victim impact statement Agnes’s older brother, Abiola
Inakoju, described his sister, as ‘full of ambition’, and told
how she had visited Oxford University, where she hoped to
study, the week before her death.
He said: “We still can’t believe that she has been taken away
from us at such a young age. We are still coming to terms
with her loss and the fact that we will never see her again.”
Judge Peter Beaumont, the Recorder of London, said the
sentence was to act as a deterrent. “Gun violence with
loaded weapons that imperils innocent people on the streets
has to be stopped,” he said. To the killers he added: “Not
only have you taken a life, you have destroyed a family’s
happiness and destroyed your own lives too.”

are keeping thousands of
lorries off the road. Or that
three quarters of a million

will be planted in the Park.
By the end of this
summer, 100 residents
will have been recruited
as Hackney Hosts. They
will receive free training in
first aid and presentation
skills; learn all about the
Games, and be supported
to find paid work as part
of the programme, which
is run by the Council and

Many of the hosts have
also chosen to become
2012 Champions, helping
to promote the Olympic
ethos and Gamesrelated activities in the
community.
The first group of hosts

Core strength
Paul Monks in the Core Arts garden in Homerton
N the walls of Core
Arts’ main stage,
an oil painting of
St Mary’s Church
is being hung as part of a
stunning new exhibition at
the mental health charity.
“I did them,” one
exhibitor says with cool
charm, adding he first
discovered Core Arts when
it was based at the old
Hackney hospital almost
20 years ago. It offers
workshops and creative
arts for people with mental
health difficulties. Led by
professional artists and
musicians, courses include
song-writing, technical
software and art classes. It
also runs a number of social
enterprises, which members
can work for.
But founder Paul Monks
is keen to point out its
attendees are anything but
‘charity cases’, rather ‘they
are getting tools for self
reliance’. Core Arts doesn’t
O
use clinical techniques or
employ therapy staff –
encouraging creativity is the
main goal.
He says: “We create an
environment that is nonthreatening, where you
don’t have to worry about
diagnosis or symptoms; you
can share common dreams –
be that to have an exhibition
or perform on stage for the
first time. Everything else is
a by-product.”
To join, individuals must
have at least one recent
hospital admission and be
in contact with Hackney’s
mental health services.
Goals are then chosen by
individuals, with support
from staff and teachers.
Facilities include art rooms,
a stage area, music studios,
computer rooms, pottery
kiln and garden spaces.
In one studio, a member
is producing a stirring
symphony single-handedly;
in another, someone else
is in the early stages of
learning portrait drawing.
Paul says: “There are
different steps for different
people. The majority have
been in hospital, classed as
having an enduring mental
health problem. We get

artist with Spitting Image
and teaching in Nigeria.
He says: “I just wanted a
free studio and was sick of
paying rent. A purely selfish
act, but it ended up being a
really interesting time. Most
of the hospital was closed,
just the psychiatric wards
were left. I kept my door
open and met lots of people
who had no money, or
were homeless and living in
tunnels. Some would muck
around with the paints, so
I’d set up shows for them,
but mix it up with art
students, so you wouldn’t
know whose work was
whose.”
It is this focus on the
artist, rather than the
disability, that became key
to Core Arts when it was
formally established in
1994. The hospital room,
first offered in 1992, was
extended to a ward, then
a block. Following the
hospital’s full closure,
Core Arts transferred to its
current home at St Barnabus
Terrace, E9, and now
around 320 members use
its facilities a year. Funding
comes through the Council
and local NHS, along with
support from 15 other local
authorities, lottery grants
and general fundraising.
Paul is hoping to increase
the charity’s self-sufficiency
with a landscaping business,
which sees members
redesign outdoor spaces
for payment. Homerton
hospital is on its growing
client list. As well as raising
money for the charity, it
does much to reduce the
stigma of mental health.
Paul says: “It’s value for
money and offers good
outcomes on top. Think
how good it must feel to go
back there in control? For
members, you can learn
something new every week,
do a few hours work, just
that can mean a lot.”

THE GREEN GENIE
All your recycling
questions answered
Q: I recently had a BBQ and had more recycling than I
could fit into my Green Box. I left this out in bags next
to my box and they were collected. But can I order an
extra Green Box for future party recycling?
A: It’s great to hear that you
recycled so much of the
waste from your BBQ.
One-off amounts of extra
recycling can be left out in
open bags placed next to
your Green Box or taken
to any of the 70 public
recycling sites across
the borough.
But the Council is happy to
provide extra boxes for a
whole range of materials
so that residents can recycle as much as possible on a
regular basis. Recycling boxes are free of charge and are
delivered within five working days. To order an extra box
call the recycling hotline on: 020 8356 6688; or e-mail:

Fruit and
veg power
Larry Julian, Cllr Demirci and Simon Musther, BiogenGreenfinch Head of Commercial Operations, at Ridley Road Market
NWANTED
fruit and veg
from three of
Hackney’s street
markets is to be used to
create green electricity.
Waste food from
Hoxton, Broadway and
Ridley Road markets will
be collected by specialist
recycling company
BiogenGreenfinch.
The markets currently
throw away almost a
thousand tonnes of waste
food a year – equivalent to
56million strawberries.
Up until now unsold
food has had to be sent to
landfill, where it adds to
U
environmental pollution.
Rotting food gives off
methane gas, which is 25
times more destructive
than carbon dioxide. In the
new programme, methane
is captured to generate
electricity while all that is
left is a liquid fertiliser.
Larry Julian, Chair
of Ridley Road Market
Traders’ Association, said:
“My family has had fruit
and vegetable stalls on
Ridley Road market for
generations. It’s amazing
to think that our unwanted
cauliflower leaves and
cabbage stalks can now be
turned into electricity.”
It’s amazing to think that our
unwanted cauliflower leaves
and cabbage stalks can now
be turned into electricity
Apart from the massive
environmental benefit, not
sending the waste food to
landfill will save Council
Tax payers money.
Cllr Feryal Demirci,
Cabinet Member for
Neighbourhoods, said: “At
Hackney Council we are
always looking for ways to
make the borough greener.
Turning food waste into
electricity really helps us in
our sustainability agenda.”
Richard Barker,
Chief Executive of
BiogenGreenfinch, added:
“Anaerobic Digestion
is the Government’s
preferred method for
getting rid of food waste
because all the science
shows it creates the most
benefit. We’re delighted
to be teaming up with
Hackney Council.”
Channeling youth and energy

DALSTON’S Arcola
Theatre is urging teachers
and pupils to get involved
in its Energy For Schools
programme.
The Arcola – which aims
to become Britain’s first
carbon neutral theatre
– officially launched
the programme during
Climate Week from
21-27 March. Over 150
young people from across
London got a chance
to find out more about
the science behind living
greener lifestyles in a
fun and interactive way.
Pupils from Clapton Girls’
Technology College were
among those taking part in
activities over the week.
One Year Eight
participant said: “It was
an amazing workshop
that demonstrated the
fascinating science
behind renewable energy
possibilities. I would love
to come back and do
it again.”
There was a chance
to build wind turbines,
build and race hydrogen
powered cars, and to
create mood lamps and
artwork using a range
of recycled materials.
Workshops are tailored to
the curriculum and can be
delivered in the classroom
or at the theatre.
Arcola is aiming to offer
the programme to more
than 1,000 children over
the next 12 months.

Profitable hedge fun
Residents and parks staff at work planting the new hedge
VOLUNTEERS from
Well Street Common
User Group have helped
Council staff to plant a
hawthorn hedge.
The group turned out
on 3 April to plant the
hedge along the Meynell
Road side of Well Street
Common, E9.
The Council has also
removed an old bollard
fence to make the site
more attractive and easier
for people to enjoy.
The hawthorn hedge,
although it will take time
to develop, should become
valuable for wildlife. It
provides food through
nectar and berries, places
for birds to nest, and a
natural ‘corridor’ to allow
wildlife to move around
the common.
The hedge planting
is part of the Council’s
commitment to creating
more areas for wildlife
across the borough.
Residents can get
involved by joining
Hackney’s Biodiversity
Partnership.

REVIEW
Lines and My Name is Rachel Corrie
Rosemary Branch Theatre, 2 Shepperton Rd, N1
Until 30 April
A DOUBLE bill of political plays at the
Rosemary Branch is currently offering one
of the most thought provoking and value
for money nights out in the capital.
First up, ‘Lines’ is an innovative piece of
meta-theatre – about a play within a play,
which focuses on the murder of an actor
by the person he was meant to portray.
The victim’s parents, a playwright, the
director and a police officer all give
their accounts of what happened and
where it went wrong. It’s a twisted tale
of pointing fingers that asks questions
about how much should be permitted
by artistic license and whether artists
can ever be held responsible for real-life
consequences. Gripping and emotional
story with glimpses of black humour, Lines
owes much of its success to a cast giving
stellar performances.
‘My Name is Rachel Corrie’ is an intimate
coming of age story based entirely on a
real life American activist’s diary entries
and e-mails before her death in 2003.
We meet Rachel when she is a joyous
teenager without any life plans bar
a resolution she won’t let it become
meaningless.
She gets involved in activism, eventually
landing her in Gaza as a part of peaceful
resistance group . By the play’s end
her questions on morality become ours
and we leave the theatre, probably as
intended, unnerved. The world may have
heard more about Rachel if she hadn’t
been tragically killed in Israel.
In all, a full evening of quality theatre
leaving you wanting nothing more except,
as the weather gets hotter, a little bit of air
conditioning.

News in brief
Let’s dance
On a pedestal
Joel Davids with his winning artwork
A HACKNEY boy’s design for
a prestigious art award made
a final short list from a record
500 competition entries.
Pupils from every London
borough entered the Fourth
Plinth Schools Awards to create
a public artwork that could be
displayed on the fourth plinth
of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar
Square. ‘Gender’ by Joel
Davids, 14, of Hackney Free and
Parochial School, was judged
the best entry from Hackney,
and is in keeping with the art
programme’s move away from
the male dominated, often
war-related statues that have
historically graced the square.
Joel said: “I was so pleased,
especially when I saw how good
the other entries were.”
His art teacher, Patrick Sanders,
added: “The artwork promotes
a positive message of peace
and equality. We are all very
proud of Joel.”
The competition was judged by
Yinka Shonibare whose artwork
‘Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle’
currently adorns the Fourth
Plinth. Joel’s artwork, along
with the overall winners and
other finalists, will be on display
at City Hall, SE1, until the end
of April.
‘Outstanding’
WO reinvigorated
borough schools are
enjoying success after
receiving high marks
from Ofsted inspectors.
In a remarkable
turnaround, London Fields
primary in E8 was rated
‘outstanding’ – the highest
Ofsted grade possible – after
being deemed a failing
school in the education
watchdog’s last inspection
four years ago.
Special school Horizon
was classed as ‘good’, with
some areas ‘outstanding’,
improving on a ‘satisfactory’
rating in 2008.
Special measures were put
in place at London Fields
primary in 2007 to closely
monitor the school – such
moves can result in closure,

Staff and pupils from London Fields (above) and Horizon (right)
but this March, the Ofsted
report stated: “Pupils’
achievement is outstanding,
not only in their acquisition
of literacy and numeracy
skills, but also the skills
needed to learn effectively.
The quality of teaching is
consistently excellent across
the school.”
It added that ‘the pace of
learning is unrelenting’.
Executive head teacher,
Greg Wallace, said: “I am
delighted that the hard
work and dedication of
staff, pupils and parents
at London Fields has been
recognised.”
Inspectors also found
that things had radically
changed at Horizon School,
in Stoke Newington, which
caters for pupils with special
educational needs. Their
report noted that pupils
WAS it abstract athleticism or arty fun? For some Hackney
primary school pupils, probably somewhere in between,
as they experienced the physical demands of being a
professional dancer.
Rambert Dance Company brought contemporary dance
to youngsters, leading technique and choreography
workshops at seven borough primaries: Berger;
Morningside; Lauriston; Orchard; and St Dominic’s, all in
E9; Daubeney, E5; and Wentworth Nursery, E9.
The work culminated with a show at Trinity Laban
Conservatoire of Music and Dance, in Greenwich, on
1 April. A 200-strong audience watched the four to
nine-year-olds perform routines inspired by Christopher
Bruce’s award-winning ‘Hush’ and samba-inspired
‘A Linha Curva’ by Itzik Galili – both from the Rambert
repertoire.
Joce Giles, Rambert’s head of learning and participation,
said: “It was fantastic; the facilities at Laban are
wonderful so it was great for the young dancers to have
the opportunity to rehearse and perform in a professional
venue. The performance went really well and the
feedback has been really positive.”
He added the children gained understanding and
experience of an art form they may not have engaged
with before.
make excellent progress in
their learning. KT Khan,
Horizon’s new head teacher,
said: “We are on our way
to becoming an outstanding
school and are looking
forward to being a Centre of
Excellence for young people
with complex needs.”
Cllr Rita Krishna, Cabinet
Member for Children’s
Services, said: “Both these
schools have made great
strides in improvement,
which Ofsted justly
recognises. It is gratifying to
see yet more good schools
securing a good future for
Hackney’s children.”
PUPILS at the City Academy
in Hackney are to receive lap
tops donated by City
firm KPMG.
The company is giving
over 1,000 computers, worth
£100,000, to 100 schools and
charities throughout the UK.
City Academy will benefit because KPMG
is its co-sponsor, but a number of Hackney-based
organisations such as St John at Hackney Church, Arcola
Theatre and the East London Business Association are
also set to gain.
Father Rob Wickham, Rector of St John at Hackney,
(above) said the computers had come as a ‘wonderful
surprise’. Members of a new joint youth club with St
Thomas’s Church in Upper Clapton, as well as older
people’s group ‘The Senior Saints’ will use the equipment.
Mike Kelly, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at KPMG,
said they wanted to put their old computers to good use.“We
hope this donation will make a difference,” he added.

Is your Facebook page a tool, a distraction or an addiction?
A dangerous open book?
The ‘Possible Damage’ team including Hailey (fourth from right) at Rivington Place, just off
Shoreditch High Street. Exhibition details (right and top)
By Hailey Ford, 24
MOVED away from
the quiet little hub of
my university town last
summer to Hackney on
a whim.
I had graduated from the
University for the Creative
Arts, in Farnham, with
a BA in Photography,
and was trying to find
affordable housing in
London. I quickly realised
I had chosen a great place
to continue my artistic
practice. It wasn’t long
until I found Iniva, a
fantastic organisation right
I
on my doorstep, whom I
have been working with
since November 2010.
Iniva’s aim is to work
with artists, curators,
producers, and writers, as
a way of developing ideas
and stimulating debate.
These ideas often reflect
the cultural diversity of
society, resulting in a final
exhibition, and often live
performances.
Being a part of Iniva has
enabled a group of likeminded people to form
a meaningful network,
and gather valuable,
practical experiences in
the exhibition process.
After six months
of hard work,
‘Possible Damage’
is now exhibiting at
Rivington Place, just
off Shoreditch High
Street. The display has
developed as a response
to student protests against
the rise in tuition fees and
education cuts.
Iniva has helped me
through the difficult
transition from student to
practising artist and I intend
to work with them again.
Until then, I will be working
as an artist individually, and
as part of a collective called
Wandering Bears.
MORE INFO
There will be a
performance lecture
from the artists on
Possible Damage on
30 April at 3pm. The
exhibition runs until 14
May. For more info visit:

IS Facebook a small distraction or big addiction? Tolunay
Kaygusuz, 14, wants your opinion.
Did you know that if Facebook were a country, it would be
the fifth largest in the world? Or that people spend more
than 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook? So is
online life taking over?
Facebook has evolved to offer access on the move. There
are more than 200 million active members currently using
the site from their mobile devices – that’s 40 per cent of
the people on Facebook.
However brilliant the social network site may be, like any
other amazing thing it has its downside. It can get very
addictive and unless you know how to control yourself
(which most of us don’t) you will keep going back to it, so it
can get very time consuming.
On the other hand there are many advantages. It can help
to find old friends. You can decide on what you’re going to
be doing with your weekend, or find out what your friends
are doing.
Taking both sides into account, I think the pros outweigh
the cons. The fact that your details are out there for anyone
to see can now be changed with the privacy settings so
only your friends can access your profile. Facebook feels a
lot safer than it once did. So in conclusion I think Facebook
is safe and isn’t a problem. Good or bad? What do you
think? E-mail: [email protected]
Down by the river
THE Hackney Young
Photographers (HYP) are
getting ready for their
exhibition.
Organised by
Ourspace, a youth-led
social initiative that aims
to reduce knife crime,
the exhibition will be a
collaboration between
youth-led charity, Art
Against Knives, YH
World and Agenda.
The exhibition will
showcase some of the
shots they have taken
of other creative young
people.
But in this edition
of Hackney Today,
YH World shows off
some very different
photography from HYP’s
Firdaus Yusuf, 15.
Firdaus explains: “This
picture was taken minutes
away from my house in
Clapton, near the river.
It was a really hot day
so I just went out and
took some pictures and
this was one of the first I
took.
“This picture stands out
because of the reflection
of the water and the way
the houses and canal boat
are lined up next to each
other.”

News in brief
Three become one
THE three primary care trusts (PCTs) serving Hackney and
the City, Newham and Tower Hamlets have now merged to
form NHS East London and the City.
All three management teams are
now working together, with
Alwen Williams becoming
Chief Executive.
NHS East London

commissioning practices,
and provide advice on
improving health and reducing
its inequalities.
Following a Government white paper published last year,
all PCTs and strategic health authorities are to be abolished
in 2013. Functions such as commissioning health services
are set to be transferred from PCTs to GPs.

Health trust savings
E
AST London NHS
Foundation Trust
has announced
proposals to save
£10.2million by April 2012.
The trust which provides
mental health and
community health care
services for Hackney – as
well as the City, Newham
and Tower Hamlets – said
around £7.6million will
come from efficiency
savings from a range of
clinical services and ‘back
office functions’. This figure
is in line with a four per
cent cut in its total annual
budget, as required by NHS
central office. Another
£1.3million is set to come
from reductions in child and
adolescent mental health
services (CAMHS) due to a
cut in funding. Other money
saving proposals include a
reduction in non-pay related
expenditure.
Over 90 posts are due to
be deleted in CAMHS and
community services for
adults across the trust area.
However it is understood
that suitable alternative
employment will be made
available to the majority
of staff at risk. The trust’s
Chief Executive, Dr Robert
Dolan, said: “We are
committed to working
with our staff to avoid
redundancies, and are
confident that, for most staff
affected by these changes,
we will find suitable posts
within the organisation. For
some CAMHS specialist
staff, this will be more
difficult as there may not be
suitable employment within
the organisation.”
He added that all NHS
bodies are being asked to
contribute to a 20 per cent
‘productivity improvement’.
A further reduction in
services to the value of
£3.2million will need to be
identified in 2012/13.
East London NHS
Foundation Trust is
now consulting with its
employees on the proposals.
FEEDBACK from local people has influenced an action plan
to help the Council provide information and advice about
health, wellbeing, and adult social care.
A survey asked what residents thought of the services
currently on offer in the borough as part of an information,
advice and advocacy consultation earlier this year.
Cllr Jonathan McShane, Cabinet Member for Health
and Community Services, said: “The response to the
consultation was fantastic. The majority of people who
returned surveys are older and in receipt of services from
the Council, giving us important details about how people
who are not as likely to use the internet prefer to get
information and advice.”
The results show that help, support, and keeping healthy
are the most important subjects, with post, face-to-face
contact, and newspapers being the most popular channels
for information. For those who are not housebound,
doctor’s surgeries and the Hackney Service Centre are
popular places to get information and advice.
To find out more about the action plan and how it will
enable people to get information and advice more easily,

The Mayor and Councillors
Councillors are elected by Hackney
residents and serve for four years.
The last borough elections were in
May 2010.
Councillors have a range of
responsibilities, including helping to
oversee the Council and its services.
They hold advice surgeries where
residents can meet their local
representative and ask them to take up
issues that may be of concern.
Generally they can help with Council
related matters, but if the issue is the
responsibility of another person or
organisation, councillors can often
point people in the right direction and
tell residents who they need to see.
Hackney has 57 councillors
representing areas called wards –
illustrated in the map opposite.
To check which councillor covers your area, or confirm surgery times, call: 020 8356 3373.

Passmore
notes
Clockwise from above: illustration from 1900 publication ‘Passmore Edwards Institutions’ showing
Shoreditch Library before its extension; a bust commissioned by Shoreditch Public Libraries from
sculptor Sir George Frampton, now in the Passmore Edwards Library, St Ives, Cornwall; response from
Passmore Edwards to an invitation to the unveiling of the bust in 1899; Passmore Edwards photo, c1900
HIS month people
in Cornwall are
marking the
centenary of
the death of their most
famous philanthropist
and benefactor.
John Passmore Edwards’
generosity resulted in the
founding of 70 major
buildings across the country
– including two libraries in
Shoreditch – and a number
of local drinking fountains.
Born in the village of
Blackwater, near Redruth,
in 1823, Passmore Edwards
was the son of William
Edwards and his wife Susan
Passmore. The family were
not well off, but William
managed to find two pence
each per week for the
education of his four sons.
Passmore Edwards was
still a teenager when he first
‘nurtured an ambition to
become known and useful
in some way’. Initially this
involved the successful
running of a free school
teaching literacy to men and
boys, but attempts at public
speaking and publishing
were a failure.
T
By chance he met a
representative from
the London ‘Sentinel’
newspaper who offered
him a post as agent for the
paper in Manchester, with
a tempting annual salary
of £40. The newspaper
was a failure and the salary
actually £10, but Passmore
Edwards did manage to
earn a few extra shillings
through lecturing on
temperance and politics.
After 15 months he
headed for London to
become a journalist and
lecturer. He founded some
successful publications of
his own, and in 1876 he
became the owner of ‘The
Echo’, Britain’s first halfpenny evening newspaper,
which made his fortune.
After failing to win the
seat for Truro in 1868,
Passmore Edwards was
elected MP for Salisbury in
1880, but he did not enjoy
politics and turned instead
to founding public buildings
and institutions, including
hospitals, libraries, schools,
convalescence homes, art
galleries, as well as drinking
fountains. The first public
library opened in London
in 1868, no more were built
however, much to Passmore
Edwards’ disgust, so he paid
for 24 libraries across the
country between 1889
and 1904.
Haggerston Library in
Kingsland Road was opened
in May 1893 by the Duke
of Devonshire. There was
also a large garden ‘where
the public could promenade
on fine evenings and readers
could enjoy a book and a
pipe’. The library was so
popular that within three
years it was extended, again
through Passmore Edwards’
patronage at a total cost of
£6,250, reopening on the
same day in 1896 as the
foundation stone was laid
for another new library in
Pitfield Street, Hoxton.
As well as the two
libraries and 4,000
books to fill their shelves,
Passmore Edwards also
funded drinking fountains
in Hoxton Square (no
longer working); Albion
Square (recently restored to
working order); Hackney
Road; Stonebridge
Common; and Victoria Park
(all no longer standing).
Twice Passmore Edwards
was offered a knighthood
and turned it down: he felt
philanthropy was always for
the good of his fellow-man
rather than for self-glory.
‘By vigilant work and fairly
good luck I have become
the custodian of a certain
number of sovereigns,
which came mostly from the
labours of working-men,
and my desire is that these
sovereigns, or most of them,
should flow back to the
fountain from which they
mainly derived.’
John Passmore
Edwards died,
aged 87, on 22
April 1911,
at his home
in Hampstead,
leaving £47,000 to
his wife and children,
the final recipients of
his generosity.

Carers in Hackney
Recipes straight from the
ovens at Waterhouse
THE Council is urging
residents to have their say
on a recently drafted new
strategy for carers.
It aims to provide better
support for the estimated
18,000 carers in Hackney
who devote huge amounts
of their time and energy to
looking after other people.
The consultation is open
to all, but the Council
particularly wants to hear
from carers themselves.

Last chance to give
Hoxton Market views
VIEWS are being sought
on options for improving
Hoxton Market. The
Council wants to
reinvigorate the market
by bringing in new

mix and good value for
customers.
The Council is committed
to improving Hackney’s
markets – both for traders
and shoppers. You can

THIS is the latest in a series of regular recipes courtesy of Waterhouse –
an eco-friendly restaurant alongside the Regent’s Canal in Shoreditch.
Head Chef Owen Cool divulges a family recipe that’s been passed down through
generations. He said: “This recipe for Dutch Apple Cake has won me much
undeserved credit (it’s not my recipe and is very easy to make).
“Someone once told me it was the best thing they had ever eaten! So in the spirit of
sharing, here’s how to make a very special cake. Good luck.”
Serves 10
For the pastry:
• 300g self-raising flour
• 175g butter, cubed
• 150g light brown muscovado sugar
For the filling:
• 1 kg bramley apples, peeled and sliced
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 50g caster sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• Handful of raisins
Waterhouse is a social enterprise
that trains local people in the ethos
of eco-friendly best practice in the
restaurant industry.
Owned by Shoreditch Trust, its profits
go back into a regeneration programme
for the local area.

• Blitz all the pastry ingredients in a food
processor (or crumble with your fingers)
• Wrap and place in fridge for 30 mins
• Peel, core and slice apples, and cover
immediately with lemon juice
• Add sugar, cinnamon and raisins
• Grease a nine inch round dish or cake tin
• Roll out ¾ of the pastry and line the tin
• Fill this with the apple mix and include any
juice, this will soak into the pastry and create
the sticky-cakey-loveliness we’re looking for
• Make strips with the remaining pastry and
create a lattice on top
• Bake for around 45 minutes at 160°C
• Serve with whipped cream hot or cold
