In order to get our request granted, we need to present a petition of 10% of the electors in the area to Hackney Council requesting that they start a “community governance review” with the aim of setting up a local council for the area. Within a year, Hackney must consult the residents and report back on their findings.
Once the area to be parished has been decided you will be able to download a petition here and drop it in at:

I have just come across your Community or Town Council campaign after hearing about the analogous movement in Westminster. As a former Parish Council chairman I am a strong believer in universal parish enfranchisement, and I should like to know what progress you have made.
