Community Action for Pembury Circus
From Community Action for Pembury Circus:
Pembury Circus is one of the most dangerous and inaccessible junctions in Hackney, and one of the most polluted sites in the UK. Air quality is in breach of 3 W.H.O recommendations and in the 99th percentile for the worst pollution in the country.
In January 2023 Hackney Council received £19 million through the Levelling Up scheme to redesign the junction, but the funding expires on 31 March 2025.
We are a community-led initiative of residents, businesses and workers based in Pembury Circus. We are campaigning to ensure improvements are made before the funding expires and the changes address local community concerns.
