 We’re holding a Community Day In Essex Road, Leyton on Saturday 28 March.
We'd love your help to plant up the new pocket parks and you'll also be able to speak to Dr Bike, have a ride with the All Ability Cycle Club and speak to Pedal my Wheels about a second hand bike.
Our sewing workshops at Leyton Green Studios are back from Tuesday 3 March for five weeks.
You don’t need any sewing skills so come along, learn how to repair creatively and make pyjamas!
The workshops are free to attend, as they are funded by L&Q, and are in partnership with Sew London.

British Telecom has consulted the Council on the proposed removal of the public call box at the corner of Vicarage Road and Park Road (outside Rain Drops Off Licence and Supermarket) in Leyton.
This is because BT say it is not used often enough (50 calls were made in the last 12 months).
If you have any comments to make on this proposal, please respond by Wednesday 1 April 2020. Please quote reference number 200633.
The procedure for removing public call boxes is managed by OFCOM.

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.
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.
