Hackney Wick Pharmacy

I can see many comments focusing on Fish Island, but Hackney Wick as a whole needs a pharmacy.

I want to ensure that a “me first” approach to the new community on Fish Island doesn’t overlook the needs of the longstanding community here in Hackney Wick, whose needs are just as important as those of Fish Island.

The residential population around the station is larger than Fish Island’s and continues to grow. Investment should benefit the entire existing community, not just newer developments.

Across Hackney Wick, we need better local services, including a post office, larger supermarkets rather than more ‘mini’ stores, a GP surgery, schools and entertainment. Sainsbury’s shelves, for example, are often empty.

The community has grown faster than the amenities and we now need a review.

Thanks!
