I work in this area, based in Springfield Park but covering housing estates in Stamford Hill and Manor House, and I've been hearing reports that cases are increasing and a local lockdown might be coming for at least a couple of weeks now.Fuuuuuuuuuck

Shit, those numbers are high.
My neighbour and family had been shielding heavily since March. Children and mother hadn't been out once. Occasionally used our shared garden, but never out the front door. They decided to send their kids back to their (orthodox) school a couple of weeks ago. They were shocked to the bone how their was zero acknowledgement of Corona. No separating children, no masks, no nothing. As if the last six months hadn't happened.The children of all ages have been back at schools for a few weeks now as well.
my neighbour reckons that this is not something a politician or policy could fix. This goes to the very heart of their community. He thinks there will be religious interpretations dividing the community. And a change of attitude won't happen over night.The Council members for Stamford Hill West and Springfield (the Conservative corner of Hackney ) are all Orthodox so I hope they will exert some influence on their community.

at the school I was talking about they didn't have hand sanitisers until my neighbour raised the issue. there are about 600 pupils at a time.I think that's spot on. There is a kind of rebellious spirit (famously with planning permission) and I have some affection for that although it can also be very irritating usually and especially now.
So it will need to happen through religious and community leaders - some of whom were still operating synagogues and schools as normal at the height of lockdown.
I've been walking around Stamford Hill a lot over Lockdown, I remember in April walking down some streets near Markfield Park, I was stunned at how many Orthodox were out and about & not socially distancing at all. I put it down to maybe not being aware of Lockdown (it was only a couple of weeks in ) We are just outside the area (near Clapton Station), we haven't been texted by our Doctor's yet , and were a month or so ago when there was concern raised .
Oh no!
We have had a leaflet from Hackney Council about the rise in cases recently.
Although it wasn't specifically mentioned, I suspect it may relate mainly to the Orthodox Jewish community. I've been taking walks around the area alot for weeks and I must say they have never been very good with social distancing or wearing masks.
The children of all ages have been back at schools for a few weeks now as well.
I am not making any personal criticism and I understand and respect that their way of life involves mixing with their community all the time but I won't be very happy if I'm confined to the area!
Yep , border guards on Stamford Hill and Upper Clapton Rd ?Not sure how a local lockdown in N16 would even work... let's hope we don't find out
not just stamford hill, there are ones down the street saying "hackney" too.
Our went in the recycling on Friday...heads up Hackney people: if you have a copy of the latest Hackney Today don't throw it out! It came with a big poster by Stik, grafitti guy, and it is going for decent money on ebay. stik hackney today | eBay
Was in Stamford Hill yesterday. Big crowds of people gathering outside synagogues, no social distancing, no masks. Looks like the messaging isn't getting through.
