👆?

Has anyone noticed the animals have disappeared from the Clissold Park enclosures? I’ve been trying to find out whether this is temporary or permanent but can’t find anything on google or local news.

Also - same for the redevelopment of SN town hall / assembly hall. There’s next to no news on what’s going on - looks like they’re redeveloping it. We were hoping that we’d maybe get married there so would be nice to know if/when it’s reopening.

Does anyone have any news or info on these? I am surprised that Hackney Council haven’t given any updates.

I live in Dalston and we have a serious seagull problem. They rip open the bins, fight the other birds and kill them and they scream so much during the day and at night woke up nearly 200 flats at 4am. I kid you not they are the size of big cats! I don't know what's wrong with them but it's really causing an issue in the estate. How did they even get here in the first place. Anyways it's driving us up the wall

Does anyone else in Hackney have this issue?

Apologies, as I know this has been discussed in the past, but about two or so months ago I signed up for that Hackney Lime deal. I applied via that form on the Hackney website, but since haven't heard anything.

How could I find out whether I was actually accepted onto the scheme, other than taking a Line Bike, incurring a cost, and then finding out whether or not it's at the flat rate of £1.50 or whatever it was?

Will the scheme collapse because of the change in administration?

Thanks!

I realise this may be common knowledge to some but not to others. I remember seeing a post here this week about phone theft on 254 at Clapton pond heading in the direction of Finsbury Park and I’ve just unfortunately witnessed the same this evening.

Two young fellas got on a few stops prior, sat upstairs and it wasn’t till after they’d gone downstairs at Clapton pond I heard some shouting downstairs and one of them sped off into the street being chased by someone. They just looked liked two teenagers in blue grey tracksuits.

I’ve also seen it at Manor House a few weeks ago at one of the bus stops.

All of this is to say be careful with your phones out and about even on the buses.

Hey everyone!
Can anyone recommend good places that will be open and showing both the Brazil and also England World Cup games tomorrow?
Pubs or other venues with a good atmosphere would be great. Thanks!

If yes please DM me with an accurate description and previous pics of the ring, and I will be happy to hand it back to you. I found it on midnight 2nd July. If someone can please do me a solid and post this on other socials that would be amazing, I am not on any other platform but really hope to find the rightful owner

There's a couple of cats in the street I live in in Hackney that have those little Insta 360 or whatever those little black cameras are on their collar that you see on TikTok and others in these cat videos. It's kind of odd to me because I get it - They're fun videos for everyone to watch what cats do. When out and about...

But there's one particular cat that just jumps up on my windowsill and sits there looking through my window for five or ten minutes at a time with the camera around its neck. No one from the street can see through my window because it's quite high yet the cat can get up. He basically sits there recording me for five or ten minutes. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Anyone else seeing the ass video cameras on cats ?

Could be a street, a park, a local business or even just a quiet corner that never seems to get mentioned.

Hello there.

Is there any community, app where I could find babysitting jobs?

I have a fully time job in finance but enjoy babysitting. So not doing it for money as much.

I studied and worked as a teacher and I have done babysitting when I was a student and now do it occasionally for my friend for free but they live too far (south London). Happy to provide references if needed.

Thinking if I can find it somewhere here in Hackney.

https://www.reddit.com/r/islington/comments/1ug9b0v/update_regarding_the_1938_proposed_bus_changes/

basically, the new proposed changes to 38 will affect a lot of hackney residents, and for the worse, and the changes are going ahead despite most responses asking them not to do this.

Most of the new councillors do not have surgery times listed, but they do have emails. Is this something we could petition them about? Don't know how much they can actually help us, but may be worth trying?

Hi everyone!

A few friends and I recently started a social community based around Victoria Park/East London, for people in their 20s & 30s (although everyone is welcome!).

So far we've got 200 members and the groups within the community include: park volleyball, spikeball, a pub quiz team, and we're now adding social salsa dancing and a run club. Beginners in any of these activities are very welcome, and all activities are free to join!

If that sounds like your kind of thing, send me a message and I'll send you the WhatsApp community link

Sometimes it doesn’t recognise bikes as being in Hackney, sometimes it offers you the resident discount but then charges you full price, sometimes it doesn’t offer the discount.

It’s great if you want to replace an intra-Hackney bus ride, but only if it works.
