The local police are holding two crime prevention stalls this Sunday – from 11am until 12.30pm on Church Hill Road and from 1pm until 2.30pm on Eden Road. Do join them for crime prevention advice.

The local Safer Neighbourhoods Team have been undertaking increased patrols recently to detect and deter burglars. This has had an excellent effect. In December 2011, there were 25 burglaries reported. Last month, this had reduced to 7.

The new security doors installed at Attlee Terrace have also reduced the problems that residents experienced with youths causing anti-social behaviour in the estate.

If you would like to speak to the Safer Neighbourhoods Team, call 020 8721 2642.

The Walthamstow Village Square has been replanted with funds from the council and help from the Walthamstow Village Residents Association. The former Community Council voted to give the Residents Association £2862.50 to improve and replant the square. The work was carried out at the weekend.

A gardening club has pruned back the overgrown shrubs and added two tonnes of topsoil. The new plants are perennials, so will brighten up the square all year round. The Residents Association will be dedicating a rosebush to the memory of Janice Tildsley, whio sadly passed away at the end of 2010. Janice was a dedicated supporter of the Residents Association and the square will be a fitting memorial to her.

As ever, the Residents Association do a great job, and we’d like to thank them for all their work to make the ward a better place to live.

On Saturday, 25 volunteers re-planted the Village Square on the corner of Orford and Eden Roads. Using funding from the Community Council, it took less than 30 minutes for the square to be transformed. This is another great example of the work that the Walthamstow Village Residents Association do for our area – click here if you want to get involved with their work.
