Frieda Schicker emphasizes the importance of community input, stating, "It's about what should be available for everybody, particularly when there are plenty of families in Stoke Newington that can't afford really high prices." Her plea for the cafe’s reopening is deeply rooted in the need for accessibility and diversity in options.
Cllr Fliss Premru criticized the council's lack of consultation, stating, "this has been a missed opportunity" to engage the community's diverse perspectives regarding the new cafe's operations.
The Mayor of Hackney, Caroline Woodley, acknowledged the frustrations stemming from the closure, suggesting a community-focused approach would be beneficial in addressing the concerns of park users.
Frieda’s petition advocating for public consultation on the cafe plans reflects a strong community desire, having gathered almost 80 signatures in support of her initiative.
