Our residents talking about the awful service from Dial a Ride @TFL Vulnerable 'stranded' as TfL’s free minibus network 'regularly cancelling trips' mylondon.news/news/transport…

Great meeting tonight on Frampton Park Estate with residents, council officers and Thames Water to discuss lessons learned from the recent water outage. Looking forward to the new joint protocol between Thames and Hackney which should improve the emergency response for residents. Thanks to all who came along 🙏

Dial-a-ride is publicly funded by @TfL but it seems to be run like Uber, ‘sorry we couldn’t find a journey’ with disabled residents who rely on it reporting cancelled journeys that leave them stranded. Listen to resident @bryanp247 talking about his experiences #ImproveDialaRide @TransportForAll @LondonAssembly

For Frampton Park residents: the issue with water on Frampton Park may take 24 hours to fix - it relates to a burst water pipe in N16. Residents should receive text messages updating them but you can also call Thames Water on 0800 316 9800 and quote the reference number 01462049. I have asked for confirmation that Thames will distribute bottled water to residents.

Busy day in Victoria Ward today. Sara is volunteering for Co-Create in the well stocked Community Closet and Rough Street Recovery sessions for people experiencing homelessness in Hackney start on Thursdays at 10.30, please spread the word 🙏

Busy day in Victoria Ward today! First we visited our friends at the brilliant stay and play in Frampton Park Baptist Church and then we were out talking to residents.

A great morning in Victoria Ward visiting @primary_orchard to talk to Yrs 4-6 about democracy, ahead of their school council elections! We were very impressed with the thoughtful questions and the friendly welcome. Children seemed happy and curious - what a lovely school!

Lots of residents came along to my surgery at Frampton Park Baptist church this morning. Then we were out on the doorstep talking to residents - thanks to everyone who came along!

Great afternoon talking to residents in Victoria Ward, both on the doorstep and at New Kingshold Community centre for the official launch of CoCreate Hackney!

Really lovely morning in Victoria Ward talking to residents. Excited to see Krista and Edie of #CoCreateHackney in New Kingshold Community Centre! This is a grassroots social enterprise which will offer benefits advice, workshops, training and clothing/toys for those in need from the #CommunityCloset. If you have anything you don’t need or any skills you can share, please donate or get in touch with them 🙏

Good to be out on the doorstep in Victoria Ward earlier - thanks so much to all who came out 🙏🙏 we were pleased to offer some housing advice to residents in Shuttleworth Hostel and on Mare Street. The desperate need for council housing has never been greater @SteveReedMP

Lovely to be back at Hackney Central Library meeting residents. The library is closing for a refurb - details below about where regular activities will be held during the closure. Once I have a new venue I will post info about where my surgery will move to from October onwards! 🙏

Out talking to some of our Mare Street residents today & so lovely to be joined by @EllyBakerAM I picked up casework from private renters - many of whom live with terrible disrepair and fear revenge evictions. We await the #RentersRightsBill becoming law & ending #section21

Lovely to be out and about talking to residents in Victoria Ward today! 🌹

Lovely to be out and about on a visit to Victoria Ward on this sunny spring day, catching up with residents who have been so supportive over the years and who do much for our community!

In Victoria Ward today - meeting some young HA residents on Well St common then with @campaignforcash talking to businesses about the importance of cash acceptance. The lovely Toy Box on Vicky Park Rd still takes cash & has Xmas pressies for under a fiver - support if you can! 🙏

My resident Malcolm, trapped in his flat for 600 days in 3 years due to faulty lift. We’ve other disabled residents in inaccessible housing - one who hasn’t been out for 2 years & misses hospital appointments. Still awaiting evacuation plans from the HA..insidehousing.co.uk/insight/…

Enjoyed talking to @SocialistHealth last night about the link between housing and health. With a record 151,000 children growing up in Temp Accom usually with no visitors, disabled people trapped in high inaccessible flats & overcrowding the norm, it is incredible to think we spend the same on housing as we did in the 70’s. Difference is we now spend 88% of the housing budget on benefits to private landlords! @UKLabour #BuildCouncilHousing #Endrighttobuy
