Responding to the violent disorder of August 2011

Nearly 150 people took part in a special partnership event at Stoke Newington Town Hall in Hackney on 14 November in response to the violent disorder that spread across the country this summer.

The gathering brought together representatives from the Council, police, local faith and community groups and other invited guests, including local MPs Diane Abbott and Meg Hillier, to learn about the initial findings from research undertaken to help identify possible causes behind the August disturbances in the borough.

The day also provided an opportunity for group discussions, looking at the key perceptions of underlying issues emerging from the research together with an overview of the disturbances, to help determine and feedback on actions required.
