Borough wins cycling award
Hackney has picked up a London Cycling Campaign award for the best project for children or young people for its Hackney Bikers' breakfast scheme.
It has resulted in 845 children cycling to school - and a 58 per cent increase in overall numbers compared to pre-project figures.
The Council's Streetscene Team worked closely with 15 schools across the borough, providing resources including posters, stickers and bike mechanics.
Tom Bogdanowicz, from the London Cycling Campaign, said: "Judges were highly impressed by the Hackney programme - it took a great idea and multiplied it to encourage hundreds of schoolchildren to cycle more often."
