RACE ROW AFTER HACKNEY COUNCIL ‘WHITEWASHES’ NARROW WAY. Town Hall orders new image of historic street after campaigners say first picture lacks diversity. Hackney Council has been forced to go back to the drawing board and commission new images of the Narrow Way after an artist’s impression of the street was slammed for being ‘too white’. The Town Hall published this image of the historic Hackney Central thoroughfare to illustrate planned changes to the recently pedestrianised street. But after the Black and Ethnic Minority Network (BEMA Network) pointed out that almost everyone in the image was white, the council removed it from their website. hackneycitizen.co.uk/2013/07/18/race-row-whitewashing-narrow-way/
