Borough Wide Leaseholder and Freeholder Forum

Hackney's borough-wide Leaseholder and Freeholder Forum was launched on 1 July 2006. The Forum was formed to formally represent the views, concerns and interests of leaseholders and freeholders throughout the borough who pay service charges to the Council.
