We all know how important pollinators are for the production of our food as well as the role they play in helping tackle the Climate Emergency.
Waltham Forest Council is currently consulting with residents to help us draft a Pollinator Action Plan (PAP) which:
- highlights the steps the Council proposes to take to help pollinators
- suggests ways that residents, businesses and community groups can help pollinators
Before the Pollinator Action Plan is agreed we want to hear your views on the suggestions it contains and also any other ideas you think should be included.
Please complete this short survey by Monday 2 March 2020.

 Please note:
There is the possibility that Storm Dennis may reach Waltham Forest over the weekend and high winds and/or heavy rain may make it dangerous to go ahead with the skating.
If the event is cancelled we will post on Twitter to let people know so if the storms reaches us please check before leaving home.
As part of its routine work the Boundary Commission has published its recommended changes for Waltham Forest Council.
The changes aim to make each councillor represent around the same number of residents.
The boundaries of every Ward in the borough change, some wards disappear, and some new wards are created.
Overall there will still be 60 councillors but there will be 22 wards instead of the current 20.
Currently every Ward has three councillors. Under the new proposals there will be 16 wards with three councillors and six with two councillors.
The consultation allows any individual or organisation to comment on the Boundary Commission's recommendations.
The closing date for consultation responses is Monday 2 March 2020.

Dark nights and rainy weather can make many hockey pitches unusable at this time of year but if you’re a keen hockey player you can still enjoy your favourite sport by using the all-weather, floodlit hockey pitch at Feel Good Too in Leyton.
You can book the pitch for matches or training sessions during the day or the evening and enjoy the facilities that are on offer and when you finish your game there’s changing rooms with hot showers to warm you up before you head home.
