If you’re a creative business based in Leyton you could have your details captured in a new mural planned for Leyton Midland Road Station as part of the Council’s Making Places programme.
‘The Makers of Leyton’ by Phillips Walmsley will be created from nominations received from creatives in the area, or from local residents, and will celebrate the makers and producers that make Leyton unique.
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.

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.

New Spitalfields Market is the largest fruit, vegetable and flower market in the UK.
The City of London Corporation has decided to co-locate all three of its wholesale markets (Billingsgate, New Spitalfields and Smithfield) to a site at Dagenham Dock.
If these proposals go ahead the future of the Leyton site is likely to include:
- A mixed use residential development to provide new homes for local people
- Commercial space for creative industries to support local firms and provide employment for local people
During June 2020 the City of London Corporation will be holding an online consultation and would welcome your feedback about how the relocation of the market may impact you or the community.
If approved any development on this site is not likely to start until 2026.
