As part of the Council's Making Places programme a mural is planned for Wood Street Station.
'The Gardens of Wood Street’ mural by Eleanor Hill will capture the spirit of community gardening and celebrate the area’s green spaces.
Residents are invited to share their gardening stories, photos, details of their favourite plants or thoughts about the value of community gardens in the area.
The deadline for sending in your ideas is midnight on Sunday 12 July 2020.
Making Places is an initiative by Waltham Forest Council to deliver creative projects across the borough that will have a lasting impact on communities and neighbourhoods.
It is supported by the Great Place Scheme and the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy and delivered in partnership with Create.

As we emerge from the pandemic, 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 12 July 2020.

The new library in Wood Street is due to open in late July providing residents with a wider range of services in a purpose built modern building.
The facilities will include state of the art meeting space and public computers, as well as a brand new café for the community to enjoy.
As a Library Plus it will be open for longer hours than the former library so the services will be more easily available for residents.
During July hoardings will be erected around the former Wood Street library to make the site secure.
The libraries team now have a brand new Facebook page that you can follow for updates, virtual events and more.

Businesses in Wood Street can get a free listing in the Waltham Forest Connected Business Directory, which is now being widely promoted as part of the Council's campaign to support our High Streets.
Social media advertisements are being run to help reach more customers, helping them find everything they need locally at the click of a button.
The Council will also feature the directory in the July edition of Waltham Forest News, which is sent to 100,000 addresses across the borough.
We encourage all local businesses to submit their business directory listing to get the message out that they are still trading.
All you need to do is add your details and provide a small amount of information about the products and services you offer.

We’re pleased to announce Cycle the Lines, free instructor led cycle rides from various locations around the borough. The routes follow three different tube lines (Central, Victoria and Overground) and take you from Waltham Forest into London.
These Cycle Confident guided rides aim to make you feel confident in cycling to work, or just across the borough. So, if you’ve ever wanted to try commuting by cycle before but aren’t sure which route to take, this is your opportunity to have a go with a guide.
These sessions are running every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday over the next two weeks.

The details included in that application are not proposals for the site.
If a planning application is received by Waltham Forest Council we will send out an email newsletter giving details and providing an opportunity for residents to share their views on the application. We will also send neighbour notification letters to those surrounding the site.
The deadine for the first period of engagement is Monday 6 July 2020
