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.

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.
In the Leytonstone area the proposals are that Cathall, Forest and Leytonstone wards would have two councillors, instead of the current three.
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 would be 16 wards with three councillors and six with two councillors.
There is now a consultation underway which allows any individual or organisation to comment on the Boundary Commission's recommendations before the deadline of Monday 2 March 2020.
