Living in Hackney Scrutiny Commission - Monday 10 February 2025 7.00 pm
The Commission heard presentations from the Council's Culture team and three Carnival groups: Tropical Isles, Paracarnival and Urban Touch. The meeting was called to consider the social, cultural and economic impact of Hackney Council's decision to no longer fund Hackney Carnival from the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) and to explore any opportunities to mitigate this decision. Whilst the Council is unable to fund Hackney Carnival in the future, they have secured £70,000 to be invested in 'Carnival Arts' in the borough. The Commission heard that how this money will be spent is to be co-designed with the Carnival Stakeholder Group and other relevant stakeholders.
