Thank you to everyone who took part in the many Spring Clean events across the borough - it was a beautiful and inspiring sight to see so many residents come together to make #WFOurPlace the best it could be.
There is a Spring Clean event on the Highams Estate on the Saturday 27 April at 10am, anyone who wishes to get involved is invited to turn up and join in!

Connecting Communities is proud to highlight the amazing work being done by the conversation clubs around the borough, like the one featured in the #WFOurPlace hero film (click on image), which bring people together to practice their language skills and build friendships.

Waltham Forest Council is looking into ways that we can improve the way that space is used across the borough.
We are keen to hear your views and experiences on hiring and using spaces.
The insight that you give us will help us to design a new platform, where more people will have access to more spaces. Examples of types of spaces are:
- community centres
- desk and office space
- meeting rooms
- parks and sports grounds
There are just 10 questions to answer so it should take less than five minutes to complete.
Deadline for completion is midnight on Sunday 28 April 2019.

On Saturday 18 May 2019, 12 noon to 4.30pm, we’ll be celebrating a £1 million investment in Cheney Row Park, Walthamstow by holding a Family Fun Day for local residents.
A lot of work has been done including planting more than 100 trees and improving the BMX track.
But we need some help.
If you can spare us a couple of hours to help set up in the morning or some time to be a steward during the event itself please let us know.
You must be more than 18 years old to volunteer for this opportunity.
