The council officers have made a terrible decision and we are now dependent on the elected representatives to quash that decision. Officers come and go but councillors must live with their decisions. This meeting is a pivotal test of the councillors' integrity and if it goes the wrong way it could mark the death of democracy in Hackney.
The following councillors are expected to be at the committee meeting:-
Members of the Committee:
Councillor Vincent Stops (Chair)
Councillor Katie Hanson (Vice Chair)
Councillor Brian Bell
Councillor Ajay Chauhan
Councillor Humaira Garasia
Councillor Clare Joseph
Councillor Michael Levy
Councillor Steve Race
Councillor Sarah Young
Substitute Planning Sub-Committee Members:
Councillor Anna Lynch
Councillor M Can Ozsen
Councillor Benzion Papier
Councillor Clare Potter
