London Riots: The Next Few Days

Last night saw the streets of Hackney quiet with very few incidents.

The police had a significant presence that everyone will have seen and in the days to come there will be an increased number of officers both in the borough and available to come if there are any further incidents.

For advice, updates and more news from the police - please go to the Hackney section of the Met Police website here. Other specific advice can be found here.

In addition to the increased policing, community leaders and groups will be coming together to offer support and opportunities for people to talk about what happened, ask questions and raise any points they may have. We will keep you posted.

Lastly, we'd like to pay our own tribute to the street cleaners and residents who worked hard to get the streets back to normal and cleaned up in the aftermath. Their work and commitment shows that Hackney will move on from the events of earlier this week.
