6.1 Question from Cllr Anya Sizer to the Cabinet Member for Health, Adult Social Care, Voluntary Sector and Culture
Hackney Council’s Hoxton Street Market street market is a great place to buy food and a hub for the whole Hoxton community.

6.9 Question from Cllr Polly Billington to the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport
The Council's Cycling Plan sets out a vision for the borough with ‘the most attractive and safest roads for cycling in the UK.’ But for many of our residents, having access to secure and suitable bike storage is also a significant barrier to cycling. The Council has already responded to this issue by installing more cycle hangers. Can the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport outline what more this administration will do to improve cycle storage across Hackney, and meet its manifesto commitment to help another 4,000 households who may lack the storage space at home to keep a bike.
