King’s Passage Triangle
Waltham Forest Council have given permission for Transition Leytonstone to develop and improve the triangle of land on the corner of Wallwood Road and King’s Passage, and have helped us to get some funding from Groundwork to work with the local community to carry out the work. The funding is through the Transform programme, inspired by the 2012 Olympics.
We plan to talk to as many residents who live near the site as possible, as well as to those who work at or use the nearby nursery and people who walk past the site every day. Children play on the grass, walk on the wall (which does need mending), and should continue to enjoy the site. We’d like to include some food growing, perhaps fruit, nuts, herbs…It’s going to be important, and exciting, to involve local people both in making plans for the site, and in the planting and maintenance.
If you live near the site, please tell your neighbours about the project.
There will be a preliminary meeting to look at the site and discuss plans for the project, and to meet a representative each from Waltham Forest Council and Groundwork, who are supporting us:
Monday 22nd August, 7 pm
Corner Wallwood Road and King’s Passage
Refreshments will be provided
If it rains, we’ll go to my house nearby
Please let me know if you are able to come, to give me an idea of numbers in case it does rain.
I’m very sorry about the short notice. If you are not able to come, please let me know if you’d like to be involved. There will be many opportunities.
Best wishes,
