Cracking Christmas dinners
The borough’s older residents
were full of festive cheer as they
ucked into free turkey dinners
at special Christmas events.
The popular annual events, which
ook place earlier this month, saw
undreds of local people aged
60 and over gather together to
welcome in the festive season.
Organised and run by the
Council, the free dinners provide
a perfect opportunity for older
residents in Waltham Forest to
spend time with friends and meet
new people.
There were four events in total –
one at Leyton Orient Football Club,
two at Walthamstow Assembly Hall
and one at Chingford Assembly
Hall – attracting a total of 1,070
local people. In addition to a two-
course dinner followed by mince
pies and chocolates, there were
performances from school choirs
and a live singer, and activities
including bingo, a quiz and a raffle.
Borough resident Doreen
Southgate went with five friends
to the first of the two events to be
held in Walthamstow on Tuesday 2
December.
Afterwards, she said: “It’s been
an absolutely brilliant day. The
entertainment; the children singing,
bless them, that was excellent –
they put on a good show.

“We’ve not stopped talking,
we’ve not stopped clapping and
the meal was absolutely first class.”
Seventy-year-old Victor Whittle,
from Highams Park, attended his
second Christmas dinner event –
having been before in 2012 – and
said he was enjoying it just asmuch.
He said: “I’m pretty good at
making friends and conversation –
I don’t know any of the people on
my table but we’ve had a laugh.
I’ve kept them amused; I’ve told
them all of my anecdotes – 70
years’ worth!”
Three friends from Leytonstone,
Hazel Buckley, Hong-Yoke Hepburn
and Pat Flannery, said the events
were a great way of meeting people
from all over the borough.
Cllr Angie Bean, Cabinet
Member for Adult Services, said:
“Events like the free Christmas
dinners are fantastic occasions
that celebrate our older residents
and acknowledge the valuable
contribution they make to the
Waltham Forest community.”

More money for parkn Council announces further £1million investment in parks and playgroun
n Programme of improvements planned for 12 play areas and six open sp
Waltham Forest is one of the
greenest boroughs in London,
with some wonderful parks and
open spaces to enjoy, and play
equipment ranging from pirate
ships to pterodactyls!
Recent improvements all
over the borough have been
complemented with the creation
of Leyton Jubilee Park in 2012,
which combined the 14 hectares
of Ive Farm and Marsh Lane
playing fields into one park. The
refurbishment of Drapers Field,
which was temporarily leased to
the Olympic Delivery Authority for
the London 2012 Olympic Games,
has also seen a wealth of new
facilities come to the borough.
The ongoing commitment to
improve parks, open spaces
and play areas in the borough
was underlined by the Council
recently when a further £1million
was agreed to be spent over the
coming year.
“We’ve had some fantastic
feedback from local people about
the work we have carried out over
the last year or two up and down
the borough to improve parks,
playgrounds and open spaces,”
said Cllr Clyde Loakes, Deputy
Leader and Cabinet Member for
Environment.
“We want to build on that
success and continue our ongoing
drive to create better leisure
opportunities for our residents
wherever they live in the borough.”
The £1million will be spent
during 2015 to improve 12 play
areas and six open spaces. The
sites were selected as those
most in need of renewal and
modernised play equipment, or
areas that could be made into
even better places for leisure.
The works will include the
refurbishment of a skate park
in Leytonstone, the installation
of a new artificial play surface
in Highams Park, and the
refurbishment of an outdoor gym
in Chingford.
Public engagement sessions to
explain the scope of the proposed
works will be carried out early in
the New Year, with installation
planned for the period between
Spring and Autumn.
The parks and open spaces
earmarked for improvement are
Abbotts Park, Cann Hall Skate
Park, Coppermill Park, Dames
Road Play Area, Henry Reynolds
Gardens, Highams Park, Hollow
Ponds, Jubilee Sports Ground,
Langthorne Park, Leyton Sports
Ground, Memorial Park, Pimp
Hall Park, Priory Court Housing
Estate Play Area, Ridgeway
Park, Sansom and Acacia
Estate, Queens Road Play Area,
Stoneydown Park and Vestry
Road Play Area.
The Council is committed to
ensuring that each renovated play
site has unique characteristics
and features that excite users
and stimulate their imagination
and desire to return. It is also
important that parks cater for a
wide range of people and offer
things people want to see and do.
The public engagement
sessions will be advertised in
Waltham Forest News and held
at venues near the play areas.
The events will give suppliers
and the Council the chance to
establish what improvements the
community would like to see in
their local play area.

groups we recognise

local community so th

Mini HollandThe results of the Mini Holland consultation
into proposed changes to the Ruckholt
Road area have revealed a positive
reaction. Local residents and road users
completed surveys, attended drop-in
sessions and emailed opinions to the
Council, with 74 per cent of all respondents
‘very supportive’ or ‘quite supportive’ of
the scheme. Those ‘not supportive at all’or ‘not very supportive’ represented 19 per
cent of all respondents. There were also a
significant number of comments received,
providing constructive feedback on the
scheme’s design.

Pupils from Mission Grove School painted
murals about their local community
to celebrate a bridge reopening. The
Palmerston Road bridge has reopened
after eight months of work. The bridge,
which crosses over the Gospel Oak to
Barking rail line, was identified as being
weak in 2012 and made subject to weight
and width restrictions that prevented
buses and HGVs servicing Walthamstow
Market. It was therefore deemed
necessary to demolish the old bridge andreplace it.

pay £1,050 in fines and court
costs, having already had audio
equipment seized by Council
officers including a stereo, speakers
and a karaoke machine.
“We all enjoy our music but there
is no need to make our neighbours’
lives a misery in doing so,” said Cllr
Clyde Loakes, Deputy Leader and
Cabinet Member for Environment.
“This case shows that we willnot hesitate to seize equipment or
seek prosecution if amplified noise
is having a negative impact on the
quality of people’s lives. Hopefully
this resident will now think twice
before she decides to pump up the
volume.”
Neighbours contacted the
Council about Ms Dormer playing
loud music from her ground floor

on a number of occasions and
Audio equipment was seized by Waltham Forest Council
found the noise to be excessive,
but despite issuing warnings
the complaints continued. This
gave the Council no option but to
instigate legal proceedings.
In court the Judge ordered Ms
Dormer to pay a fine of £500 for
seven separate offences recorded
between March and July 2014,
as well as £500 in costs and an
obligatory £50 victim surcharge.
She was also ordered to forfeit
audio equipment that had beenconfiscated by officers in May and
July 2014. In summary the Judge
stated that Ms Dormer’s loud music
had caused ‘daily living hell’ for her
neighbours.

Festive fun for older peoplen Pupils at Walthamstow School for Girls organise community
party for older residentsn Annual event is a school tradition stretching back more than
twenty yearsKind-hearted pupils at
Walthamstow School for Girls
bought festive cheer to some of
he borough’s older residents last
week, when they held an annual
community party.
The party, which is organised by
pupils with the help of Assistant
Headteacher, Gemma Bugden, took
place at the school (Church Hill, E17
9RZ) last Tuesday afternoon. More
han 60 older residents living near
he school attended.
Every year, the school invites
guests by sending letters to residents
ving in nearby care homes,
heltered accommodation units and
almshouses. Pupils and staff are also
asked to nominate people that they
hink would like to attend, such as
amily members, friends and perhaps
neighbours who live alone.
Gemma Bugden told Waltham
Forest News: “Our pupils have been
organising the community party
every December for more than 20
years. It’s a school tradition that the
students are keen to continue, and
I’m always heartened by how many
readily give their free time to help.”
She added: “This year, I was
inundated with requests from pupils
who wanted to help out. To allow
us to get everything ready, students
are usually allowed to finish early on
the day if they are not involved in the
party. But this year I was delighted
that instead of having an early day,
a huge number wanted to stay and
help instead.”
Each year group has a special
responsibility to make sure the party
runs smoothly. Year 7 pupils made
sure that there was a gift for every
guest, meanwhile Year 8 pupils
seemingly drew the short straw, and
washed up at the end of the party!
Year 9 pupils set and decorated the
tables and Year 10 food technology
students made the food from
scratch.
Gemma explained: “The Year
10 girls came up with the menu
themselves, and took a good month
or so to plan it properly. Feeding
63 older people is quite a feat for a
group of 20 students, but they did
some test runs and it was a great
success.”
Pupils and staff donated presents
such as chocolates and toiletries
to make sure that every guest had
a gift, while the party itself was
funded by a non-uniform day, where
students had previously paid £1 to
wear their own clothes to school.
As well as enjoying tasty food,
guests were also treated to live
music from the school’s Steel Pan
band and Christmas carols sung by
the school choir.
Janis and John Hooper, who live
in Leyton and attended the party,
said: “It was a brilliant afternoon and
we should be very proud of the girls.
They were lovely. We would like to
thank Walthamstow School for Girls
very much, and hope to come again
next year. This is the second year
we have attended, and we had a
wonderful time.”
Year 10 pupil, Simra Mehmood,
who helped out for the first time this
year, told Waltham Forest News:
“The party was really fun and a new
experience for me. My friend and I
decided we wanted to help as we
had heard people say how much
they’d enjoyed previous years’ events.
“I enjoy meeting new people. I
talked to a lot of guests that I think
I might not meet in my everyday life
and everyone said they had a really
nice time. It felt good knowing that
I’d done something that helped
other people have a fun day, and
I really want to help at next year’s
party as well.”

Michelle and Jake live in Chingford Mountwith their parents. Their older brother Michaelhas left home already to live with his partner.
Michelle, 19, has just started a health andsocial care course and hopes to go intonursing, Jake, 17 is learning to become aprofessional chef.
About a year and half ago while sitting aroundhaving Sunday lunch Jake started telling his
family about a friend who had been fostered.
“I had been around his house and met hisfoster parents. He told me he had beenliving there since he was 13 years old ‘cos of
problems at home but he was settled now.My mum wondered if we could foster as wehad a spare room now Michael had movedout. My dad loves kids and teaches youthfootball on Saturdays and my mum still helpsout at Brownies. When we asked Michael hesaid go for it.
This year Sam who is 14, will be having hisfirst Christmas with us. He misses his family
and it wasn’t easy when he first came - hewasn’t sure if we really cared about how hewas feeling but now he sees us as family too.We’re all looking forward to dad dressing upas Santa – we’ll have a big laugh about that.”
New year, new career.
Could your family support a foster child?In Waltham Forest we believe that all kinds of people, no matter their
background, can make a positive difference to a child’s life.

Boost for borough’sleisure centresn Leisure improvement project is delivering newly-refurbished fitness centres
n Thousands of residents are already enjoying the new facilities
Steps to create better leisure
acilities for residents across the
borough show no sign of slowing
down as the Council continues
ts efforts to help local people
tay fit and healthy. The Council embarked on a
multi-million pound investment
programme in 2012 to improve
s leisure centres – and residents
are already benefitting from newly-
efurbished centres in Chingford,
Leyton, Leytonstone, and
Walthamstow.
The final leisure centre set to
be transformed as part of the
mprovement project is Waltham
Forest Pool and Track. Plans to
turn the run-down centre into a
state of the art sport, health and
fitness facility called Waltham Forest
Leisure Centre are scheduled to be
considered at a Planning Committeemeeting on Tuesday 3 February
2015.
If approved, a first-class leisure
centre will be built – offering a range
of facilities including competition
and teaching pools, a new gym,
two dance studios, spa and sauna
area and a crèche. It will also have
1m and 3m diving boards and an
extreme sports area with a climbing
wall.
An artist’s impression of the fitness suite at the new-lookWaltham Forest Leisure Centre
In recent years, membership at
the centre has dropped by a third –
with people opting for other new and
improved centres nearby, rather than
the Pool and Track’s facilities, which
have needed regular repairs. The centre closed to the public
on Friday 24 October, but the
running track, which benefitted from
reconstruction and resurfacing work
last year, remains open to regular
users.
Residents across the borough are
already making the most of their new
and improved leisure centres, with
membership levels soaring.
Leyton Gym reopened last year
and now boasts a 100-station gym
and a spacious free weight and

Leisure Centre has a new 25m pool,
teaching pool, water flume and
aqua play features, a new reception,
changing rooms and two studios.From January to October 2014 there
were over 47,000 visits to Leyton
Gym and over 29,500 visits to
Leyton Leisure Centre.
The former Cathall Leisure Centre
reopened in October this year as
Leytonstone Leisure Centre. It has
a fully refurbished 25m main pool,
teaching pool and poolside sauna, a
new reception with fast track entry,

HAVE YOUR SAY ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE
LOCAL COUNCIL TAX
SUPPORT SCHEME
Why are you consulting with residents again?
Over the summer, we asked for your views on proposals to change the current Council Tax Support Scheme. In light of a recent
Supreme Court judgement on another local authority’s consultation, the Council has decided to consult with residents again.
We want to ensure that residents clearly understand the options available to the Council to fund the scheme, why the Council is
proposing particular changes and reasons why we do not favour alternative options, including maintaining the current scheme.
Why are changes being made to the scheme?
The Council has identied a funding gap of nearly £3.5million between the cost of maintaining the current Council Tax Support Schemeand the grant from Government in the period 2015/2016 and 2016/2017.
The Council can make necessary savings by reducing the amount of Council Tax support available, and requiring all working age residen
eligible to receive Council Tax Support to pay more of their Council Tax. Currently, working age residents receiving Council Tax Support a
required to pay at least 15% of their Council Tax.
Alternatively, the Council could look to fund the scheme in other ways which are less preferred, including raising Council Tax or cutting
local services.
There are several options for how the new scheme may look and how the changes could be funded.
To nd out more about these options and complete the survey online
by Monday 5 January 2015, visit www.walthamforest.gov.uk/CTSconsultation
Free internet access is available at all libraries in the borough. You can also nd more information online, including a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) guide.
Printed surveys are available in all leisure centres and libraries in Waltham Forest. Alternatively, call 020 8496 3000
to request a copy.
We are consulting again on proposals to change how the current Local Council Tax
Support Scheme works, and we’d like to know your views.
Last chance to take part - consultation closes on Monday 5 January 2015.
