Hackney residents are encouraged to have their say on plans for a child-friendly borough

Hackney Council say: 'We want to ensure the built environment is designed, planned, and maintained to provide young people with equal opportunities to access and connect with nature, play, and move around independently in safe and healthy neighbourhoods.

By establishing child-friendly Principles and Design Guidelines for the built environment, we can ensure that proposed developments and the design process accommodates and actively plans for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

We want you to be part of the conversation and have your say on the draft design guidance document.'
