Celebrate Car-Free Day with Hackney Council & Hackney Play Streets, Sunday 22 September 2019
To mark Car Free Day in Hackney, Hackney Council and Hackney Play Streets will be facilitating a mass Play Street event on Sunday 22nd September 2019. Hackney Council will also make Stoke Newington Church Street car free on this day, allowing residents, businesses and visitors to experience what the road could look like with fewer vehicles.
Hackney has been at the forefront of World Car Free Day for many years and was the first council in London to reintroduce official Play Streets. Closing Church Street for the day and a mass Play Street event are both part of the council’s 2019 Car Free Day Celebration. Find out more here.
