Many people have expressed a desire for the UK’s recovery to be one which creates a greener, cleaner, more caring society, where reversing climate change takes a higher priority.
So there seems no better time for Waltham Forest to consider how growing food within the Borough might be prioritised in the years ahead.
Your opinion on this is important. Whether you already grow your own fruit and vegetables, have always wanted to but don’t know how, or have never considered it, we’d like to hear from you.
The deadline for sending in your ideas is midnight on Sunday 26 July 2020.

New Government regulations, aimed at supporting economic recovery and creating jobs while following social distance rule, have been introduced.
These regulations supersede any conditions agreed as part of a planning permission.
Local Authorities are expected to support applications that extend working hours until 9pm, Monday to Saturday. In certain circumstances extending hours beyond this up to 24-hour working may be appropriate. These new rules apply for a limited time only and end Thursday 1 April 2021.
The Council has to take a decision on any applications from developers to extend working hours very quickly so there will not be time for public notice or consultation.
Applicants are encouraged to provide details of mitigation plans and ensure their contractors work positively and collaboratively with local communities.
Where an extension is requested for major developments in the borough details will be put on the web page for that site.

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 14 September 2020.
