The council is responsible for choosing the locations and monitoring of public space CCTV.

We are currently surveying residents for their views on CCTV in the borough.

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

Read the Pollinator Action Plan

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.

Deadline is Monday to comment on potential changes to wards under Boundary Commission proposals

Ballot Box voting

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.

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.

Under the proposals Endlebury and Hale End wards will have two councillors instead of the current three.

Read the full report

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.
