1000 Swifts

#1000Swifts was set up by local artists to help engage the community with the Walthamstow Wetlands by building a flock of 1000 Swifts.

Big love for the #Walthamstow Town Square limes trees from local people who have fought for months to #SaveTheLimes from the chop in the @MallWalthamstow development. Sense prevails at long last. Discussion here https://t.co/O6NR8x8TIL @WFEcho

Politicians are lying to us. And one side is doing much more lying. 88% of Conservative Facebook ads contained incorrect/not entirely correct statements v. 0% of Labour ads in same period. And the BBC headline? "Ads are 'indecent, dishonest & untruthful'" https://t.co/7V4NF5qynG

The Lime trees are staying...

[Waltham Forest Echo @WFEcho]

After huge public pressure and two years of protests, the council has announced that the much-loved avenue of lime trees in Walthamstow Town Square will not now be bulldozed. A fantastic win for local people.

Trees are so much part of our health & wellbeing. Let's not cut them down for vanity reasons
