Decent Homes - works in Hackney Central over the next 12 months

Despite the cuts that we have previously announced to the Decent Homes budget by the current government, Hackney Homes have announced the properties that will be receiving much-needed investment in the current financial year.

So for the occupiers of one of the street properties on Eleanor Road, they will be receiving external works (new windows and roof). Marcon Court will be getting the much awaited new windows as well as new kitchens and bathrooms (for many - the first new bathroom or kitchen in over 40 years.)

7 properties on Lushington Terrace and 4 on Sigdon Road will be getting new kitchens and bathrooms.

All much welcomed, but for many more residents in Hakcney, their wait for essential works will be longer and more painful due to the massive cuts that the government has made to the budget.
