Janet Wright

Janet Wright disagreed when council leader Clyde Loakes said Walthamstow needed "a kick up the backside". The kicks came thick and fast as the council slashed gallery and museum opening hours, closed a library, threw out qualified staff, sent books to the incinerator, condemned the one remaining theatre -- and threatened to stud the town with tower blocks. Janet Wright is a local author who wants Waltham Forest council to stop kicking Walthamstow. More to the point, Walthamstow is a wonderful town with an enviable character and community life, well worth defending, and is the star of this blog.
