Preserving and protecting Stoke Newington’s history is central to my work, and I have undertaken several initiatives to safeguard the area’s heritage:

• Restoring heritage street signs: I successfully campaigned for Hackney Council to protect and restore old street signs bearing the name of the former Borough of Stoke Newington.
• Honouring Joseph Beck’s legacy: I advocated for the installation of a heritage plaque at the site of Joseph Beck’s house, recognising his role as the chief campaigner who saved Clissold Park from development.
• Restoring the 1930 Foundation Stone of Lordship South Estate: After noticing the defacement of this important piece of Stoke Newington’s council housing history, I worked with local councillors and tenant management officers to ensure its restoration.
• Preserving Victorian tiles at 117 Stoke Newington Church Street: When decorative Victorian tiles were uncovered during refurbishment, I prompted the shop’s owners to integrate the tiles into the interior design, ensuring this historical feature remained visible.
