A planning application has been made to change the use of 57 Rectory Road from a ‘house in multiple occupation’ to a bed and breakfast with nine rooms. We would like to know residents’ opinions on this application – do get in touch. We are currently trying to find out more information, which we can let you have. We can then use these opinions to inform our response to the application.

Get in touch and let us know what you think.

This evening, we have been talking to residents on Rectory Road. Some mentioned green issues. Labour has a strong record on the environment – Waltham Forest is one of the greenest boroughs in London, and the local Labour Party arranged for the Climate Secretary, Ed Miliband MP, to visit Walthamstow in November to listen to our concerns directly.

But Labour in Walthamstow is also working to preserve and create jobs in the borough. The Green Party are campaigning against re-opening the Dog Track, which supported 500 local jobs. We believe that you can support job creation and sustainable development – it is a false choice to choose between the two. We will work for a greener Waltham Forest and a re-opened Dog Track – more jobs and a better environment.
