This website is constant “work in progress”. It aims to provide a community service for local people - informative, campaigning, useful.
We take our name from the Victorian suburb of Brownswood Park, between Highbury, Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington - now Brownswood Ward in Hackney. Our area is at the conjunction of Hackney, Islington and Haringey, and all are welcome. |

Street drinking control: Hackney Council is now consulting (until 24 December) on introducing a borough-wide controlled drinking area. Read more Islington’s proposal early this year for a controlled drinking zone around the Arsenal stadium failed to cover Blackstock Road. Nothing more has been heard! Match day parking: Hackney is now consulting on the effectiveness of the match day parking controls in Zones G, G2 and M. Surely everyone will agree that, if parking control is inevitable, then extra protection on match days is essential. Don’t risk losing it - make your voice heard in support! Closing date Friday 11 December. Council consultations: Both Hackney and Islington Councils now have webpages which show all consultations under way. What is not clear is how one finds out the results! Bulbs and Plants Around Street Trees: Join a growing movement of residents adopting street trees. Both Hackney and Islington Councils are cooperating. See link on right >>> Clissold Park and House restoration project - £8.9M Lottery money to be spent!
