We should be very grateful if colleagues could publicise the following to users.
A report persuant to s114 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 has been issued by the Borough Treasurer of the London Borough of Hackney. For the period up until 7 November Hackney Council does not have the power to spend or commit expenditure.
Hackney Archives Department has been advised that it cannot therefore make telephone calls or send e-mails during this period. Postal enquiries will only be responded to if the enquirer encloses a stamped addressed envelope.
We are still open to the public and will be happy to help people should they telephone us.
We hope that the situation will ease after 7 November. In the meantime we would ask professional colleagues to bear with us, and to advertise as widely as possible to Hackney Archives Department enquirers the difficult situation under which we are operating.
