Manifesto 2026
Hackney Leading the way
HACKNEY Labour has published a radical and exciting manifesto for the next four years, setting out how the people’s borough will continue leading the way.
Our top ten pledges are:
- Cut Council Tax for low-income residents
- Replace council homes lost to right to buy
- Introduce a new generation of rent-controlled homes, supporting key workers
- Provide two new special schools for children with SEND
- Cut mobile phone theft by half by 2030
- Keep the streets clean with a 25% increase in street sweepers
- Bring cheaper cleaner energy to 4,500 council households by 2030
- Double the investment in apprenticeships
- Deliver an affordable food network in every neighbourhood
- Celebrate art, culture and communities in every ward in the borough
For more details, please see the attached manifesto.
Over the next four years we will build on strong foundations with the people of Hackney. We’re focused on putting more money in people’s pockets, lowering energy bills, providing accessible council housing and creating opportunities for Hackney residents from all walks of life.
“There is so much more to do. We will not let the stories and sacrifices of the people who have built Hackney be forgotten. We will continue to welcome those who seek refuge.
“We will always listen and work with residents whose experiences show us what is needed from our council. We want every child to grow up fiercely proud of Hackney, to have access to every opportunity, and to fill their lives with the stories of a borough like ours.
“Hackney – the people’s borough, where we’re leading the way.”
– Mayor Caroline Woodley
