ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN
Review, Rename, Reclaim
The naming review complements the Council’s Black Lives Matter motion and builds upon a long history of fighting racism in the borough. Read Mayor Philip Glanville’s statement on the structural racism faced by black communities.
In June 2020, the Council launched a naming review to listen to the views of residents, partners and others about how to tackle public spaces named after slave and plantation owners.
Review, Rename, Reclaim is a collaboration between the Council and community leaders, cultural experts, historians, teachers and young people that share one thing in common; a passion to make Hackney’s public spaces more representative of the communities that live here.
The Review, Rename, Reclaim project gives us an opportunity to rethink the names of spaces where communities live, learn, work and play to ensure they appropriately reflect our diverse community.

The logo continues our use of using different fonts as per our other major engagement programmes and consultations. Similarly to the Young Futures Commission, we have only focussed on one of the words, while keeping the remaining fonts in a simple courier font.
