The Save The High Street Waltham Forest team is helping dozens of businesses across the borough to reduce their costs, improve their marketing, prepare for the future and much more.

That has been appreciated by business owners such as  Kirstin Kinloch-Steyn, Director, Wild Goose Bakery, Leytonstone, who said: “The Council has shown that they genuinely want my business to survive this crisis by setting up a dedicated support team to help me explore ways I can evolve.”    

There are still places available for local high street businesses and market traders in Chingford Mount, Leyton, Leytonstone, North Chingford and Walthamstow.

It is supported by the Council and free for the business.
