Christmas will be different for many of us this year, but the Council is continuing to support our local shopping areas.
As well as providing support for individual businesses Christmas trees across the borough will be lit up on Friday 27 November 2020.
This will include at Leytonstone High Road.
Because of the Government’s national restrictions there will not be carol singing or other gatherings to celebrate the switching on of the lights.
Do support local businesses for your shopping and remember that many local businesses now operate an online service.

2020 would have been the sixth year of Leyton&Stone Designers Christmas Markets!
Organisers Esme and Liz said: “Due to COVID-19 we won’t be able to enjoy the lovely socialness, music and fun of the markets, as well as browsing each other’s stalls, chatting with customers, posing for photos with Santa and mulled wine, but we can do a small online event to try and help those traders who'd usually be getting ready for our markets about now!
“So, lovely Leyton&Stone Designers - please share photos of your latest creations in our Facebook event ASAP (no need to wait!), include prices, links and contact details so that people can buy from you - let's make it easy to #shoplocal this Christmas.”
Prefer Instagram? No worries just tag Leyton&Stone and use the #leytonstonechristmasmarket before Saturday 28 November 2020 to see stories featuring your posts!

Officers obtained a full closure order against a property on Connaught Road in Leytonstone, where illicit drug-dealing and drug use had been taking place, and where neighbours experienced significant anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the form of aggressive, intimidating behaviour and loud noise.
Drug warrants carried out at the property revealed heroin, crack and cannabis, as well as weapons, including a knife and a hacksaw.
The terms of the order mean that no one except the landlord and emergency services will be able to access the property for the next three months. The tenant is prevented from returning to the property.

Waltham Forest Council is committed to creating people friendly streets and neighbourhoods that actively encourage walking, cycling and using public transport.
That’s why we’ve spent the past 18 months developing and submitting funding bids to the Transport for London (TfL) Liveable Neighbourhoods programme for improvements in South Leytonstone, in partnership with Newham Council.
Since launching Area 1 and Area 2 Waltham Forest Council has secured further funding from TfL’s London Streetspace Plan (LSP) to extend this scheme in South Leytonstone.
We want to hear from residents about their thoughts on the scheme.
