We’ve also been giving out these especially stylish face masks! But even if you’re not lucky enough to have a Waltham Forest one, remember to wear a face covering (nose and mouth must be covered) while you’re out this weekend #AllTogetherNowWF

[Waltham Forest Council @wfcouncil]

Did you know there are at least 139 businesses in our arches, from breweries and bakeries to restaurants, gyms & even a metalworks?

August is #loveyourlocalarches month, so why not seek some of these brilliant businesses out & #ChooseLocalWF?

Well done @E17Wetlands, such a brilliant place to visit & more important now than ever that we have spaces like this #europeslargesturbanwetland #walthamforest

It was great to see the #WalthamstowWetlands listed as one of the 10 best UK nature reserves on reclaimed land in the @guardian yesterday: https://t.co/Di8AmiecCM Thx @StephenMoss_TV

If you've not had the chance yet do, take a trip and enjoy Europe's largest urban wetlands!

Whilst today marks the end of #PrideMonth2020, we remain unbelievably proud of our wonderfully diverse borough and our LGBTQIA+ community all year round 🌈

Have you seen this fantastic crossing on Hoe Street from our friends @Prideinborough?

[Martin Esom @martin_esom]

Well done @darrenwelsh2015 and the team. Brilliant and important work 👏👇

[Waltham Forest Council @wfcouncil]

During the pandemic, working with @Tell_StreetLink, charities, faith and community groups we helped 59 rough sleepers in the borough into local hotels. We are now the first Council in London to rehouse all these people out of hotels and into secure accommodation with support 🙏

The lovely people over at @MallWalthamstow are reopening some of their shops today 💝

If you're heading over, please ensure you follow their guidelines - keep left and queue safely!

Keeping everyone safe is top priority. ✅

#AllTogetherNowWF 💫

[Waltham Forest Council @wfcouncil]

High street businesses reopening tomorrow should consider marking areas on the floor with paint or tape to help stop the spread of Covid-19 by keeping people 2m apart.

Print and stick this sign up in your shop to show you are compliant 👉 https://t.co/hlTsynw3ke
