DEAR RESIDENT
We know how much pride you take in your local
neighbourhoods which is why we are committed to
keeping them clean and tackling enviro-crimes such
as littering and fly-tipping.
Last year we launched our new Neighbourhoods team, which has seen
us take a more localised approach to make sure our streets are kept
clean and safe. The team is already starting to make a difference locally,
by becoming more responsive to dealing with issues such as poor waste
and recycling behaviours, fly-tipping, food enforcement, noise nuisance,
planning enforcement and anti-social behaviour.
Councillor Clyde Loakes
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member
for Environment
One of the key roles of the Neighbourhoods team is to work more
closely with our residents to make sure that we are in tune with our
neighbourhoods and tackling the issues that matter most to you. I’d like
to ask that you continue to work with us by reporting fly-tips, planning
breaches and anti-social behaviour so that we can deal with them as
quickly as possible. We’ve also made it quicker and easier to report
issues like fly-tipping online via the new Council website.
We know that the majority of our residents respect the local
environment and do their bit to keep our streets clean, but a small
minority can ruin it for everyone else. That’s why we’ve pledged to come
down hard on those who blight our communities by committing envirocrimes like littering, spitting, dog fouling and dropping cigarette butts.
We have increased our on-street enforcement efforts and have issued
nearly 3,500 fixed penalty notices for low-level enviro-crimes in the last
six months alone. Those caught committing larger enviro-crime offences
in our borough such as fly-tipping will be prosecuted and risk having
their vehicles seized and crushed.
We are one of the few London boroughs to offer free large item
collections, and I encourage residents to make use of this service when
they replace items like furniture and white goods. You can now book
your collection online via our new website so it’s even easier to get your
items picked up. We are also providing more on-street recycling bins
across the borough, so everyone can do their bit by recycling on the go.
I would like to personally thank all of our residents for their efforts to
keep our neighbourhoods clean and tidy, for example by taking litter
home with them, recycling on the go, clearing up after their pets,
reporting fly-tippers and other environmental criminals or taking part
in our spring cleans. However, there is still more we can do together.

As part of Cleveland Park Residents’ Association (CPRA) Helen
Jackson is passionate about making the place she lives as
beautiful as possible and that means binning your litter.
Helen works alongside Ralph Meanley, her partner Roy Messenger and a
host of residents from Cleveland Park Avenue, Cleveland Park Crescent
and Vintry Mews.
As regular entrants to the London in Bloom competition, they always
make sure that their area is looking the best.
“We organise six clean-ups during the year. Residents get together on
a Sunday for two hours and trim front hedges, clear front gardens of
rubbish, weed pavements, pick up litter and make sure that all our tree
pits are planted and maintained. Clean ups also gives us the chance to
get to know our neighbours much better.”
Helen added: “I’m a big believer in recycling at home and the dual bins
encourage people to do it on the streets. I especially like the bins which
also take gum and cigarette butts.
“It’s a good idea to encourage everyone to do their bit and not just
complain about litter on the streets – it’s everyone’s responsibility not
just the Councils.”

All aboard at Lea Bridge!
Lea Bridge Station is reopening
with a full service running from
Monday 16 May
Leyton’s Lea Bridge Station is
reopening to passengers after
31 years of closure, marking the
culmination of a 15 year vision for
Waltham Forest Council.
The first full day of services at the
station will start just after 6am on
Monday 16 May, while some evening
services will start the night before on
Sunday 15 May.
The station (Argall Way, E10 7PG)
means that Waltham Forest residents
will have direct links to both Stratford
and Tottenham Hale and journey
times of just five minutes in either
direction.
Stratford is the nearest high-speed
station to central London, connecting
to services going to Europe, and
Tottenham Hale provides connections
to Stansted Airport, meaning the new
station will open Waltham Forest up
to further commercial opportunities in
London and beyond.
The station closed to passengers
in 1985, but thanks to funding of
£5.3million from Waltham Forest
Council, £1.1million from the
Department for Transport’s New
Stations Fund and £5.5million from
Section 106 contributions (managed
by the Stratford Implementation
Group) it has been possible to see
the route reopened.
“Lea Bridge Station will really help
open Leyton up for growth, giving
the area better and faster links to
some of London’s crucial transport
hubs, and make it a more attractive
prospect for developers, businesses
and residents,” said Council Leader,
Chris Robbins.
“For years it’s been a project we
have committed to making happen,
and it will form the centrepiece of
wider plans to rejuvenate the area
and create a new Leyton village,
spurring even more regeneration and
change.”
The new station is expected to
service 352,000 passengers a year
by 2031. The first full day’s service
will start just after 6am on Monday 16
May 2016, although limited services
are expected to be running from 8pm
on Sunday 15 May.
Services through the station will run
approximately every 30 minutes, and
will be provided by Abellio Greater
Anglia, who operate a number of
train services across London and the
South-East.
The station also offers a new cycle
hub with space for 50 bikes – funded

In my opinion
How would you define the word
‘waste’? Something that’s no
longer useful, perhaps? Taking
up unnecessary space in your
cupboards, loft or garage?
Destined for the dustbin?
If that’s the case, I would argue
that waste doesn’t really exist.
What does exist is good stuff in the
wrong place. I’m determined to put
that stuff back into use, with my
new community project, ‘swopp’,
based in Walthamstow.

revive their favourite electronic
devices. Surely the modern-day
equivalent of ‘teaching a person
to fish’?!
If their success is anything to
go by, there’s certainly an appetite
among local people to live in a more
environmentally friendly way through
recycling and reuse. I’ve been lucky
enough to witness it first hand with
the first two ‘swopp’ events I’ve
put on at Wild Card Brewery in
Walthamstow this year.
The idea behind swopp is simple.
We all have things hidden away in
our cupboards and lofts, such as
an unwanted gift or a fad you once
bought into. With swopp, we want
you to bring those things out of
early retirement and give someone
else the opportunity to love and
appreciate them.
At past events, we’ve seen
successful swopps between
designer sunglasses, yoga
equipment, a coffee machine, retro
games console, specialist hardback
books, and more.
So think twice before you
toss something in the bin. Or go
rummaging in the dustiest corners of
your attic and see what’s hiding up
there. And then bring it to our next
event. You might just find someone
willing to give it a new home.
The next swopp community
event is on Sunday 15 May, 2–6pm
at the Wild Card Brewery (Unit 7,
Ravenswood Industrial Estate,
Shernhall Street, E17 9HQ). Find

Our Parks to remain free
Fun fitness and sport sessions
in parks and open spaces are
to remain free for the third
year running after the Council
secured funding to continue
supporting the popular ‘Our
Parks’ programme.
This means residents can carry
on enjoying bootcamps, box fits,
buggy fits and many more activities
without having to pay a penny.
The summer programme takes
place in parks across the borough
and anyone can take part whether
they train regularly or want to start
exercising more.
Waltham Forest resident Ruth
Fenton told Waltham Forest News:
“I am so pleased to hear Waltham
Forest Council has continued to
fund Our Parks.
“I’ve been using Our Parks since
being diagnosed with diabetes and
it has been so important for me to
exercise regularly. As conditions like
diabetes become more and more
prevalent it is important for fantastic
services like Our Parks to have the
support of the borough.
“I absolutely love all the exercises
classes I join weekly – the service
is fantastic – and the opportunity
to use our gorgeous local parks
in lots of different ways is crucial.
“I went to an Our Parks class
recently in Lloyd Park – from the
William Morris gardens to the
back playing fields, the whole
park was filled with people
exercising, socialising and playing.”
Aside from the obvious health
benefits, the scheme gives people
the chance to exercise outside for
free, and the social element
of meeting new people is an
attraction for many.
Council Leader, Chris Robbins,
said: “Waltham Forest Council was
the first local authority to pilot
Our Parks two years ago, and
in that time we’ve had more
than 6,400 local people register
to take part.
“Its success has been fantastic
to see, and we’re proud to
be able carry on funding the
programme so residents can
continue enjoying it free of
charge.”

School place offers
Pupils from Walthamstow’s Willowfield Humanities College.
The school relocated to a bigger and better state-of-the-art
facility in September 2015
Thousands of parents across
the borough were given good
news on primary and secondary
school place offer days this
year, as they discovered if their
child made it into one of their
preferred schools.
Last month saw 85 per cent of
families in Waltham Forest who
applied on time receive an offer of
a place at their top choice primary
school. This followed news in
March that the Council offered
more than 81 per cent of young
people a place at their preferred
secondary school – the highest
rate in the capital.
Data released by the PanLondon Admissions Board
showing on-time applications as
at National Offer Day also placed
Waltham Forest top in London for
offering children a place at one of
their six preferred secondaries,
with nearly 98 per cent securing
of children were given a place
at one of their six preferred
schools.
Cllr Mark Rusling, Cabinet
Member for Children and
Young People, said: “It’s great
news that we’ve been able to

a place at one of their chosen
schools. In the same category at
primary school level, 97 per cent
place at one of their preferred
schools – at both primary and
secondary level. Our children
deserve the best start in life and
going to a school of their choice
helps give them this.
“London’s fast-rising population
and the Government’s decision
to ban local authorities from
opening new schools make our
ability to ensure we have enough
school places to meet demand
much more difficult. But local
parents can rest assured that
we are doing all we can to plan
ahead and help create more
places so that families across
Waltham Forest receive good
news on school offer days.”
The Council has spent in
excess of £100million providing
new places to meet demand
since 2008, and already has
plans in place to continue
creating more places in the
coming years. As well as
supporting expansion projects
at Council-maintained schools
to enable them to continue offering
a good or outstanding Ofstedrated education, the Council has
worked collaboratively with
successful academies to expand
their primary provision.
In 2015 and 2016 alone,
1,320 additional places have
been created in Waltham Forest’s
primary schools – with a further
630 due in 2017. Next year will
also see the creation of 1,090
places in the borough’s secondary
schools to help meet demand.

Priorities
Lighting up the borough
Waltham Forest Council has four key priorities to help improve the lives of everyone who
lives and works in the borough. In this edition we look at what is being done to help build
a strong local economy and thriving town centres
A £1.1m grant for a Creative Industries Zone will
provide extra workshop spaces and improve
employment opportunities for local makers
Local musicians, traders and street performers are
wanted for the new weekly Twilight Market
Maintaining a strong local
economy and ensuring our
town centres prosper is a
key priority for the Council.
We have ambitious plans for
the regeneration of Waltham
Forest, which means supporting
investment and development,
providing greater job and skills
opportunities for residents, and
making the borough a better
place to live, work in and enjoy.
opening of Willowfield Humanities
College in September 2015.
The relocation of the school to
Blackhorse Road followed a
£25million Council-funded project
to provide a bigger and better school
building. The new state-of-the-art
school building has enabled the
school to grow into a four form
entry to a six form entry school –
meaning they can offer an additional
300 places to pupils.
Blackhorse Lane
Art Project
Last year the Council secured
Housing Zone status for Blackhorse
Lane from the GLA. This allows the
Council to accelerate the delivery of
new affordable and private homes in
the area, along with improvements
to services and infrastructure
to support this development.
Along with a focus on car free
developments, improvements
planned for Blackhorse Road Station
and surrounding public space, there
are plans for a brand new purposebuilt medical centre on Sutherland
Road, replacing the current facility on
Sinnott Road.
Plans to expand local schools
by 1,470 permanent places are
also underway complementing the
Visitors to Walthamstow’s
Blackhorse Road can’t have failed
to notice the eye-catching piece of
street art that has been created on
the exterior of the former Standard
Music Venue.
The piece is the work of Irish artist
Maser, who recently exhibited his
solo show, ‘Orbiting the Periphery’,
at central London’s Lazarides Gallery.
The work was commissioned by
the Council, with match funding from
a number of organisations, as part
of the ‘Paint Your London’ project.
Curated by Wood Street Walls, Paint
Your London was a month-long
mural exhibition which saw walls
and buildings across the borough
brought to life through street art.

the new street art at the former Standard Music Venue. Photo by Penny Dampier
The installation on the former
Standard building was fully
supported by the landowners,
TFC. TFC has submitted a preplanning application for a mixed-use
development on the site comprising
retail, housing and a new music
venue. They will be exhibiting their
plans to the public before submitting
a formal planning application.
Creative Industries Zone
Earlier this year it was announced
that the Council had been successful
in securing a £1.1million grant
from the GLA to create a Creative
Industries Zone in Blackhorse Lane.
The project will transform underused
space in the area to provide more
workshop capacity and creative coworking space.
The new facilities that the grant
will provide will help to create even
greater employment opportunities
for creative industry workers in the
borough. The Council is determined
to create a vibrant economy in
Walthamstow, and the Blackhorse
Lane area in particular. In addition,
2,500 new homes are earmarked
for Blackhorse Lane, as part of the
Council’s ambition to see 12,000
new homes in the borough by 2020.
Twilight Market
The Walthamstow Twilight Market
returned last month, and will now
take place every Thursday evening
from 4pm to 10pm throughout
spring and summer.
Held in Walthamstow Town
Square and Gardens next to
Walthamstow Central station and
The Mall (High Street, E17 7JN),
the Twilight Market offers a mouthwatering selection of street food
and delicious drinks from across the
globe. Entry is free.
Originally launched last year, the
Twilight Market is funded by the
Council and GLA, and is organised
by Street Concepts. The now weekly
market will also give local traders
the opportunity to showcase their
wares in a vibrant setting. Traders,
musicians and street performers
interested in getting involved can get
in touch by emailing [email protected].
Employment and Skills
With so much growth taking
place in Waltham Forest, the
Council recently launched a new
Employment and Skills Partnership
to ensure that local people are able
to take advantage of the increased
opportunities that are being made
available across the borough.
“We want to create clear
pathways into employment and
enable residents to improve their
skills,” said Cllr Clare Coghill,
Cabinet Member for Economic
Growth and High Streets. “We
can’t do this alone, so we have
established the Employment and
Skills Partnership so that local
partners can come together to
work towards our common goal of
supporting local employment and
skills development.”
The Council has also established
a Partnership Board, which met for
the first time in March. The Board
is made up of representatives from
the Council, education and training
providers, employers, investors,
developers, charities and other local
organisations.

What you say

Peter Allen, Leyton
“I think there is a lot to do in
Walthamstow, it has everything you need
and the cinema is great. I tend to spend
my money locally and I was pleased to
see a new Saturday food market open
up in Orford Road recently. I think it’s
important to keep and encourage more
independent shops in the borough,
rather than too many chains stores. It
helps make the area unique, appeals
to residents and draws visitors in from
other boroughs.”
“I really like the Empire Cinema, and lots
of my friends visit on weekends with
their children. It’s good to have, because
we never used to be able to go to the
cinema before. I really like the area,
it’s usually busy and I like to shop here
because there is lots of choice. But most
of all I like Walthamstow because of the
location, the schools and the nice play
areas for children.”
“I come to Walthamstow and at Bakers
Arms because it has all the shops I
need; I can get everything done at one
time and pay my bills. I also like using
Walthamstow Market. But I think there
needs to be more access to public toilets.
Having more businesses join the Council’s
toilet scheme would be a good idea, as
people would be more likely to stay out
for longer and spend their money.”

Neighbourhoods officers have uncovered poor living conditions
in unlicensed privately rented properties
Rogue landlords fined
n Landlords now being prosecuted for not licencing their properties
n Licencing scheme aims to improve conditions in the private rented sector
The campaign to crack down
on rogue landlords and drive
up property standards in
the private rented sector
for residents continues to
gather pace. Twelve landlords
operating in the borough have
now been prosecuted by the
Council for failing to licence
their properties, with courts
ordering fines and costs of
over £66,000.
In March 2015 the Council
launched its Private Rented
Property Licencing (PRPL) scheme,
which requires all Waltham Forest
landlords to have a separate
licence for each property they
rent in the private sector. Once
in possession of a licence the
landlord must comply with certain
conditions, otherwise they could
be prosecuted and fined.
The scheme has now been
running for just over a year, and
there have been over 19,000
licence applications so far. To
maximise compliance with the
scheme the Council has been
proactively seeking out privately
rented properties where no
application for a licence has
been made.
Action days now take place
regularly across the borough, using
intelligence to uncover landlords
who are shirking their responsibility
to obtain a licence, and to also
identify properties where poor living
conditions are suspected.
The action days have been a
great success so far, with over
7,500 properties visited, 150
licence inspections carried out and
125 new properties identified as
requiring a licence.
They have also uncovered some
very poor living conditions in the
private rented sector, include a
property that was claimed to be
owner occupied, but was actually
being rented by 11 people living in
extremely cramped conditions. In
cases like this the landlords will be
given notice to make the required
improvements, or they could face
further action from the Council
including prosecution.
In addition, Council officers
also use the action days to visit
properties that are suspected as
being privately rented but where no
application for a landlord licence
has been made. If this is confirmed
then the cases are taken forward
for prosecution.
Twelve landlords have already
been prosecuted for failing to
obtain a licence, with some being
ordered to pay fines and costs of
over £10,000 after being found
guilty by the courts.
“Landlords have now had ample
time to apply for their licence, so
there is simply no excuse to not
have one in place by now”, said Cllr
Khevyn Limbajee, Cabinet Member
for Housing. “Any landlord who thinks
they can avoid it needs to think again,
as they could soon receive a visit
from us and end up in court.
“Waltham Forest is a flagship
borough for improving conditions
in the private rented sector and
reducing anti-social behaviour
through our landlord licencing
scheme. We are determined to
ensure that every privately rented
property obtains a licence.”

Fine for fake trainers
n Man was caught selling counterfeit trainers in Walthamstow
n Court orders him to pay fines and costs of over £1,100
A market trader has been prosecuted for selling fake Converse
trainers. Picture posed by models.
A market trader who sold
fake Converse trainers on
Walthamstow High Street has
been prosecuted and fined after
he was caught out by officers
from the Council’s Trading
Standards team.
In July 2015 Trading Standards
officers paid a visit to a market stall
on Walthamstow High Street, after
receiving a report that Converse
trainers were being sold at
suspiciously low prices.
When questioned the stall

Cassiobury Road, Walthamstow,

he had purchased them from a

reputable source. The officers
seized the trainers and sent them
to the trademark representative
for testing. This confirmed that
the trainers were not genuine
Converse, and were in fact
counterfeit.
Mr Gulzar attended Thames
Magistrates’ Court on Friday 8
April 2016, and pleaded guilty to
the offence. He was fined £415,
ordered to pay costs of £649.28
and a victim surcharge of £42 – a
total financial penalty of £1106.28.
“The sale of counterfeit items
will not be tolerated in Waltham
Forest, and we will always look to
prosecute anyone that gets caught
in the act,” said Cllr Clyde Loakes,
Deputy Leader and Cabinet
Member for Environment.
“Hopefully the fine issued by the
court will make this unscrupulous
trader think twice before trying to
peddle fake goods in our borough
again.
“Residents should watch out for
counterfeit goods, especially if the
price tag looks too good to be true.
There will often be other tell-tale
signs like poor logos or misspellings
on labels and packaging. If you do
buy counterfeit goods you are likely
to be left disappointed, as they are
often poor quality and can even be
dangerous.”
Counterfeit items are often
brought into the country illegally,
causing huge losses to UK tax
revenues. They are also damaging
to the businesses of law-abiding
traders who only sell genuine
goods.
The Council’s Trading Standards
team aims to protect consumers as
well as honest traders and the local
economy. If you suspect someone
of carrying out illegal street trading
you can report it via the Council
website.

Calling
filmmakers
The organizers of the annual Leytonstone
Festival are calling on the borough’s
filmmakers to submit their locallythemed short films as part of a threenight celebration of Alfred Hitchcock.
‘Hitchcock’s Home’ will take place
between Thursday 14 and Saturday 16
July at St John’s Church (Church Lane,
E11 1HH). A different Alfred Hitchcock film
will be screened each night, and visitors
can enjoy tasty cinema-style treats. The
group is looking for short films to show
before each evening’s main event. So if
you have produced a short film on a local
theme, or anything ‘hitchcock-esque’
why not get in touch? Your film could be
shown to over 900 people each evening!
The group is also keen to hear from local
people who would be able to volunteer a
few hours of their time to help out during
the festival. Volunteers can enjoy free
entry to an event of their choice, and even
bag a free t-shirt.

Sam Thomas in the recording studio in his back garden
in Leytonstone
London’s smallest studio
n Musician
Sam Thomas has set up a new recording studio in
Leytonstone and it’s available for hire
n Local people can also take lessons in guitar or drums
Say the words ‘recording studio’
and you probably imagine your
favourite singer or band in a
gigantic room, surrounded by
a mixing desk the size of the
Starship Enterprise.
But for one resident, the words
bring to mind something altogether
smaller. Leytonstone musician
Sam Thomas has just finished
constructing his very own recording
studio in the tiny garden of his
Leytonstone home!
Waltham Forest News dropped
by the East London Mini Music
Studio, located just off Queens
Road, to find out more.
“I’ve been making music as
long as I can remember,” Sam told
Waltham Forest News. “My mum
was an opera singer and music was
ingrained in me from an early age.”
A graduate of Westminster
University’s Commercial Music
course, Sam has composed music
for dance, theatre and film. He also
released his debut album, Blind
Theatre, in October 2013.
“I guess you could say I have
always had a fairly experimental
instrumental style,” said Sam. I have
dyslexia, which meant that I had to
learn music theory in my own way.
The good thing is, this taught me
that everyone has different strengths
in the way they learn. I try to identify
these and teach in a way that works
best for the individual.
“Studying for music exams can
be great, but they’re not appropriate
for everyone. If you want to be
guitarist in a death metal band, your
bandmates probably won’t care
if you don’t have a distinction at
grade eight!”
Sam moved to Leytonstone
around a year ago. Before then, he
had been living above a professional
recording studio – Cafe Music
Studios – in Bow.
He said: “When I moved I had the
idea of finding a place with a small
garden, so I could build a rehearsal
room. Then I realized that I could
build my own studio, so I always
have access to recording facilities
when I need them. I did some
research, and realized that a home
office building would make a great
studio.
“A lot of people recommended
Leytonstone to me and said that
there was a great arts and music
scene. I was also very drawn to the
idea of living near the forest.
“I bought a home office – the
smallest that I could find – and
started wiring in all the equipment.
Soon enough I had my own small,
but perfectly formed, studio!
“I absolutely love living here now.
Being in Leytonstone is like living in
a little town on the edge of London,
but with the advantages of still
being on the tube and having an
easy journey to wherever you need
to be in London.”
Sam’s studio has an acoustic
piano, keyboards, drum kit,
guitars and bass guitars. Offering
extraordinary value for money, he
charges just £15 an hour for use
of the studio. Guitar and drum
lessons are £25 an hour or £15
for half an hour.
Sam said: “I like to charge a flat
rate, and I can be as involved as
you want me to be. I’m happy to
help out with the technical side
and show you how to use the
equipment, or if you prefer I can
take a back seat.
“Whether someone would just
like to hire the studio to ‘lay down’
some vocals for a track they’ve
already recorded, or they would
like to collaborate fully on a project,
I’m really keen to hear from other
local musicians.”

Dementia Week
activities planned
People living with dementia have contributed to an art exhibition
that draws inspiration from vintage fashion
n Dementia
Awareness Week takes place from
15 to 21 May
n Show your support by taking part in events
An original, red Routemaster
London Bus will be touring
Waltham Forest later this
month as part of a week-long
series of events aiming to raise
awareness about dementia.
Dementia Awareness Week
takes place from Sunday 15 to
Saturday 21 May and the Council is
showing its support by organising
a range of activities for people living
with dementia. There will also be
workshops for residents who want
to support the awareness-raising
initiative.
With support from Alzheimer’s
Society and Waltham Forest
Dementia Action Alliance, the
free-to-attend events have been
designed to take residents on a
journey through times past and
encourage residents of all ages to
reminisce together.
Monday 16 May will feature the
launch of Vintage Tales Art Exhibition
at Gnome House (Blackhorse
Lane, E17 6DS) from 4.30pm until
6.30pm.
Throughout the spring the
Council has been running a series
of art workshops in venues across
the borough, open to all including
people living with dementia.
Drawing inspiration from vintage
fashion, participants have worked
with local artist Anna Alcock to
bring their memories to life in this
special exhibition. Some items of
artwork will also be on display at
Leytonstone Library (6 Church
Lane, E11 1HH).
Dementia Friends Workshops take
place throughout the week, and the
big screen in Walthamstow Town
Square will be showing films and
photographs of Waltham Forest’s
older residents, along with historic
footage of the borough. It will also
display useful information about
services and organisations working
in the borough to support people
living with dementia and their carers,
families and friends.
On Thursday 19 May an original
Routemaster bus will be pulling up
at locations across the borough
to invite passers-by to take part
in an interactive show with music,
memories and comedy. In addition,
a gramophone artist will be spinning
some tunes and leading a rousing
rendition of the Hokey Cokey – while
Vestry House Museum will bring some
original items from their collection for
residents to have a look at.
Finally on Sunday 22 May
Walthamstow Town Square will host
All Together Now – a finale to the
week featuring music, dance, singa-longs and dressing up.
Billed as a ‘good ol’ knees up’,
visitors will be taken on a musical
tour through the decades, and
offered the chance to try Tai Chi,
take part in a dance workshop
and join in a mass sing-a-long. A
specially-formed community choir
will be performing for the very first
time and there will be an array of
vintage clothing for visitors to try on.
Cllr Angie Bean, Waltham Forest
Council’s Cabinet Member for
Adult Services, said: “We’re getting
behind Dementia Awareness Week
in a big way and hopefully residents
will show their support too by
taking part.
“Much of what we’re doing as
part of the week has been made
possible thanks to Victor Charles
Laidler, a former Waltham Forest
resident who left a sum of money
to the borough after his death to
help support the Council’s work
caring for and protecting our older,
vulnerable residents.”

Time for tennis
Tennis booking
A new tennis booking system is about
to launch in Waltham Forest – making it
easier for residents to guarantee time on
court whenever they want to play. Under
the new system, anyone wanting to play
on one of the borough’s 18 refurbished
courts or four mini courts will be asked to
pay a £30 annual membership fee. Family
memberships will cost £45. Becoming a
member allows residents to book courts
up to seven days in advance as many
times as they like for Lloyd and Aveling
Park, and Abbotts Park – as well as giving
use of the Lawn Tennis Association’s
rewards app, which offers rewards for
every time they play tennis. The only
Council-owned courts members will be
required to pay extra to play on will be the
state-of-the-art courts in Ridgeway Park,
which will cost £5 per hour. High quality
coaching is available at all Council venues
for all levels, ages and abilities.
• Pick up a racket and play. Visit

Video calling
scheme
The Council wants to hear from residents
who can’t or don’t use computers but who
would be interested in trying out easy-touse video calling technology called Visbuzz.
It’s designed for older or vulnerable adults,
and it aims to reduce social isolation and
improve people’s general wellbeing and
independence. You don’t need to have a
computer or the internet to register an
interest – if selected you will be provided
with an internet-enabled electronic device,
which you can use to make video calls to
friends and family – with equipment free
of charge and on loan to you for the time
you take part in the trial. Visbuzz does not
give full internet access, only the ability
to communicate with relatives, friends
and others who have the ability to make
video calls online. Energy costs such as
charging/powering the device are not
included.
• If you, or someone you know, would
like to take part in a free trial, phone

Catching
the conartists
n Council,
police and partner
agencies cracking down on
rogue traders
n Residents reminded of threat
posed by doorstep thieves and
con-artists
Dozens of residents across the
borough have been given crime
prevention advice as part of
a major crackdown on rogue
traders and doorstep coldcallers.
The Operation Rogue Trader
initiative, which took place on
Wednesday 13 and Thursday
14 April, saw Trading Standards
officers from the Neighbourhoods
team work in partnership with the
Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams.
Together they visited more than
70 properties in the Grove Green,
Hatch Lane, Hoe Street, Lea
Bridge, Leyton, Leytonstone, Valley
and Wood Street wards.
At each address, officers spoke
to residents and business owners
about their consumer rights when
contracting workmen. Any traders
found working on the premises
had their paperwork and business
practices examined – and checks
were made to ensure they were
providing residents with their
cancellation rights, which is a legal
requirement.
In addition to providing 67
households and 55 traders with
printed advice packs about fraud
prevention, officers also checked
traders’ vehicles by running
automatic number plate recognition
tests, and carried out patrols in
areas where building works were
taking place.
The action, led by the Council’s
Trading Standards team, was
designed to combat the threat
posed by individuals or groups of
people who cold-call householders,
often targeting vulnerable residents,
and fleece them out of money by
charging excessive fees for work
that they either carry out to a poor
standard – or fail to undertake at all.
Residents should also be aware
that some fraudsters knock on
doors pretending to be tradesmen
or working for respectable
You should not answer your door to cold callers
organisations in order to trick their
way into people’s homes, before
stealing cash and other valuables.
Deputy Council Leader and
Cabinet Member for Environment,
Cllr Clyde Loakes, told Waltham
Forest News: “These callous con
artists and thieves not only leave
hard-working residents out of
pocket, they also cause enormous
emotional distress – often to
vulnerable, older people.
“We’re committed to working
with partner organisations,
including the police, to expose
these fraudsters and ultimately put
a stop to criminal behaviour like this
in our communities.”
More info
Find a reputable trader by visiting
www.trustmark.org.uk. To report
suspicious cold callers or traders,
phone Citizens Advice Consumer
Service on 03454 040 506. In an
emergency, dial 999.
What you need to know
n If a cold caller turns up on your doorstep and offers to carry
out work to your home, you should always say ‘no’ and find a
reputable trader instead.
n Be cautious if strangers come to your door, claiming to be
working for a named organisation. Ask for identification and
check it carefully. If you are unsure, phone the company to
check. Get the number from a bill or the phone book rather
than a number they give you, as they could be putting you
through to an accomplice.
n Beware of cold callers who encourage you to leave your house
– there may be someone else waiting nearby to sneak into
your home to steal your valuables.
n Ask the caller to come back when someone else is home, or
ask them to write to you to arrange an appointment. A genuine
caller won’t mind you taking these precautions.
n If you feel threatened by a cold caller, phone the police.

a chance to relax and enjoy the secluded
museum and garden while seeing
them from a whole new perspective.

Statue plans are revealed
Laurie’s niece Rhodene, sculptor Graham Ibbeson, Mavis Cunningham
and Council Leader, Chris Robbins, unveil the model of the statue of
Laurie Cunningham
Plans to erect a statue of
pioneering Leyton Orient
footballer Laurie Cunningham
moved a step closer this
month, as a mini version of
the sculpture was unveiled.
Created by renowned sculptor
Graham Ibbeson, the statue will
show Laurie, one of the first black
footballers to represent England
and the first Englishman to play for
Real Madrid, in action. The largerthan-life sculpture will take pride
of place in Coronation Gardens
next to the Matchroom Stadium.
The design gained the seal
of approval from the footballing
legend’s 85-year-old mother,
Mavis, who was over from
Jamaica visiting family.
Waltham Forest Council is
spearheading a campaign to
raise money to build the statue
and is working alongside Leyton
Orient and football’s equalities
organisation Kick it Out. The
plan is to have the statue of
Laurie ready to unveil early
next year.
Chris Robbins, Leader of
Waltham Forest Council, told
Waltham Forest News: “Laurie
Cunningham was an instrumental
figure in breaking down barriers
and helped pave the way for
other black sportsmen and
women.
“In Waltham Forest we
celebrate diversity and are proud
of our heritage. We think it is
important to recognise the role
that Laurie Cunningham played
in bringing about change.”
The campaign has now got
the backing from a number of
well known footballers including
Rio Ferdinand, Bobby Zamora
and West Ham captain Mark
Noble. And there is still time to
show your support and contribute
towards Laurie’s legacy.

MAKING SURE YOUR STREET IS CLEAN GREEN SAFE LOVED
BIN YOUR DOG MESS
While the vast majority of dog owners tidy up after their pooch, we want
to remind the few who don’t that they can dispose of their dog’s mess in
any of the borough’s 800 bins. All they need to do is bag it and bin it.
The Council spends a massive £7million on cleaning the borough’s streets and
parks each year and we want to make sure that our residents play their part by
encouraging pet owners to clean up after their dogs.
Not only is cleaning up after your dog the right thing to do but it’s actually against
the law not to get rid of your dog’s mess. Dog fouling is an offence that could
see the culprit face an £80 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) and failure to pay the fine
within 14 days could result in a £1,000 fine.
Dog walker, Lauren Zeraschi, said: “No one likes to see dog mess on the street or
in the park, it’s just not nice. I always make sure I carry bags to clean up after the
dogs I walk and there is always a bin nearby so that I can throw it away.
“I love living here but unfortunately there’s a minority that spoil it for the rest of us.
Tidying up after your dog is easy and you shouldn’t expect others to do it for you.
If we all did our bit, our borough would be an even nicer place to live.”
LARGE ITEM COLLECTIONS
It’s never been easier to get rid of your unwanted sofa, wardrobe or
bookcase. You can now book a free large collection online through
the Council website, and you can arrange for up to five items to be
collected each time meaning there is no reason to fly-tip.
It’s now quick and easy to book, just visit www.walthamforest.gov.uk/
largeitemcollection and follow the instructions. There’s also a list of large
items that can be collected which includes the kitchen sink!
And we have also launched a premium large item collection service, which
is perfect for landlords, businesses or trades people who are not eligible for
the free collections. Residents can also make use of this paid-for service,
which allows for up to 20 items at a time.
Tomasz from Leyton said: “I have used the Council’s free large item
collection many times and I’m very happy that the Council offers it to get
rid of things I don’t need anymore. I find it bizarre that people put large
items like mattresses on the corner of their street when the Council offers a
service. I think it’s very important that serious action is taken against those
who fly-tip.”
Unwanted items that are still in good condition can be donated so that
they can be used again. The Restore Community Project will collect items
that are suitable for reuse. You can book a collection
www.restorecommunityprojects.org or telephone 020 8493 0900 for
more details.
MAKING SURE YOUR STREET IS CLEAN GREEN SAFE LOVED
BLOOMING LOVELY
As the greenest area north of the Thames, Waltham Forest
blooms in spring. While the Council looks after and maintains the
borough’s parks and open spaces many green fingered residents
play their part in making the borough look loved.
Walthamstow Village has won London’s Best Village in the prestigious
London in Bloom Awards for six years running and that’s all down to
the hard work of local residents. The Walthamstow Village in Bloom
team (pictured) runs a monthly gardening club and tend to around 30
adopted areas including flower beds, planters, a community orchard,
meadow and allotment.
Member Helen Learner, said: “Over 70 local residents take part and we
have a busy year round programme of activities which anyone can get
involved with and goes towards creating an amazing community spirit in
the Village. We have exciting plans for planting with nectar-rich plants for
the local bee population, a new orchard of fruit trees in the gardens of
local housing association homes providing a green corridor into the heart
of the area plus ten new tree pits are to be filled with colourful flower
displays on Orford Road.”
Over at Leyton, the Friends of St Mary’s Nature Reserve have
transformed an overgrown space that attracted anti-social behaviour
into a tranquil well-kept garden. Steve Williams from the group said:
“We work of the site most Sunday afternoons. Over the years we have
removed sofas, supermarket trolleys, carpet, bikes, mattresses and
televisions from the site.”
