Team Hackney

I’ve spent a few hours this morning sending emails to all the organisations involved with Team Hackney. I’ve added a new link to their site in the general interest column down the right of the page. Essentially the organisation brings together a whole bunch of community stakeholders to help co-ordinate development and basically to make life in Hackney better.

A few good responses will certainly help to get a broader perspective on what stakeholders in the community feel about engaging young people in the political process and I’ve already received some positive replies. These have come from Chief Superintendent Steve Dann, who’s the Police Commander for Hackney Borough, Simon Thomsett from Hackney Empire and Laura Sharpe from the City & Hackney Teaching Primary Care Trust. I’ve sent them the questionnaire so now we’ll just have to wait and see.
