Hackney Council has officially approved a budget for 2026-27 driven by Labour values.
Led by Mayor Caroline Woodley, this year’s budget is bold, ambitious and balanced.
Hackney Labour will invest:
- £23.5 million in street cleaning
- £144 million to tackle homelessness
- £156 million to support financially vulnerable residents
- £31.7m on community investment and amenities
And over the next ten years we will invest £550 million in fixing up homes on Hackney’s estates.
This marks a significant turning point for Hackney. Austerity under the Conservative Government had reduced our budget by £156 million since 2010.
Thanks to this Labour Government, Hackney Council has received a £97 million boost in our funding for the period 2024/25-2028/29, ensuring we can continue delivering high quality services for residents and be there to support the most vulnerable in our community.
