“Hackney, like Richmond, will not permit any new skyscrapers or Tower Blocks. Tower Blocks belong in Hackney’s past, not its future.”
Hackney Empire – A New Direction
“The Hackney Empire board has produced little in the way of new thinking to address the problems of the ongoing funding of the theatre and has resorted to becoming the worst sort of property developer in order to cover its losses. Its proposals for a future programme look the same as before. It lacks boldness and vision.”
Defending free speech
“Little did we think that in a Borough like Hackney that the principal of free speech would become an issue. I find the Council’s attempts to restrict free speech through distorting facts in Hackney Today and attempting to ban authors from Council premises sinister in the extreme.”
Hackney needs all the talents
“Hackney Council has been a one party state for too long. I will approach members of ALL non-racist parties to serve as Cabinet members.”
Cut the cost of the cabinet to £0
“The Mayor and his cabinet pay themselves £335,000 a year. The role of cabinet member should be a voluntary one. The honour of public service as a cabinet member should be reward enough. My cabinet will cost £0 in salaries. I will not take a salary and the members of the cabinet will be appointed only if they agree not to take the salary.”

Market forces
“I want to see Hackney’s markets rejuvenated. They encourage people to spend locally and provide great opportunites for people to start in business. “
No pact with poverty
“Providing cost-effective services should not be at the expense of pay of the poorest in our community … We should not make a pact with poverty.”
End the estates Levy
“Residents on Hackney’s Housing Estates have increasingly had to pay twice for street lighting, twice for cleaning, twice for refuse collection. I will make sure that process is halted and reversed.”
