Residents of Aspland & Marcon estates hang their banner from the front of the main block of Marcon court.

Residents were particularly angry that on this day in April 2004, the Council had ordered a major clean-up of the estate because some officials from Ken Livingstone's office would be visiting. Residents contrasted this to the appalling state the Council usually keeps the estate in!

The Tenants' & Residents' Association is campaigning for the estate to be refurbished, and against Council plans to consider privatising it.

On 8 March 2002, around 200 disabled people and their allies demonstrate in front of Hackney Town Hall against the Council's attempt to take away Freedom Passes.

In 2002, Hackney Council tried to take away Freedom Passes (free travel on public transport) from hundreds of disabled residents. On 8 March, around 200 disabled people and their allies demonstrated in front of the Town Hall against this attack.
