We want your views on our draft appraisal and management plan for
the Bakers Arms conservation area.
The conservation area was designated in 2015, and these two
documents are statutory requirements that will guide how the special character
of the area is maintained and enhanced over time.
The documents contain information for residents and
businesses about maintenance of, and changes to, their properties. Once they
are adopted, they will guide how planning applications within the
conservation area are determined.
The consultation will run until Friday 26 October 2018.

Transport for London (TfL) is proposing to withdraw route 48
between Walthamstow Central and London Bridge to
manage bus numbers on both London Bridge and Hackney Road, two corridors
identified as currently having more buses than demand requires, leading to
unreliable journeys. Over the last five years usage on route 48 has dropped by
21 per cent on weekdays, 17 per cent on Saturdays and 13 per cent on
Sundays.
TfL also proposes to divert route 55 away from Leyton High Road
and extend to Walthamstow Central Bus Station via the current route 48. The consultation closes on Friday 09 November 2018.

In September 230
residents booked free tickets to hear six presentations from designers and
architects who introduced their ideas for how to improve the Rosebank Villas
route into Walthamstow High Street.
Those attending gave most votes to the
concept put forward by Ed Crooks. The panel, choosing the concept to follow up,
agreed that the Walthamstow Supernova concept put forward by Ed Crooks would
now be developed into a detailed design before being implemented. The £2,000
prize money is a fixed fee to support Ed Crooks in researching the materials,
colour scheme and installation process working together with Matter
Architecture so that the proposal forms an integral part of the improvements to
Walthamstow High Street and market.
Work will begin on site in spring 2019
following the Borough of Culture launch in January.
