Message From The Mayor
Thanks to all the Christmas workers
Christmas should be a time when everyone is able to celebrate and have fun, whether it’s meeting up with friends, last-minute shopping for presents, or going to the Hackney Empire and seeing what audiences and critics agree is the best panto in London.
But unfortunately for some residents there will still be difficulties or a crisis with which they need help, and so many vital public services must be kept running throughout the holiday period.
I’d like to thank all those staff wherever they may be working, cleaning the streets, the nurses and doctors, the police and fire fighters, and the many others who will be giving up a great deal of their Christmas holiday so that everyone else can enjoy theirs.
I hope you all have a very happy, peaceful and relaxed Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Jules Pipe, elected Mayor of Hackney
