A season of privation begins
Posted on 4:31pm Wednesday 25th February 2009

Come to Walthamstow...
Posted on 12:20pm Wednesday 11th February 2009
...but not if you have anything good to bring or money to spend! And if you live here, go away. That’s Waltham Forest council’s message, as far as I can work it out. While our amenities are closing down all around us, the council is eager to provide new ones – unwanted by local people -- for groups from outside the area.

The milk must get through
Posted on 3:07pm Wednesday 4th February 2009

True grit in Walthamstow this winter
Posted on 3:11pm Wednesday 4th February 2009
There was plenty of sign of true grit in Walthamstow over the last few snowy days. Just none, sadly, displayed by the council.

Having snowed a bit on Monday, it naturally followed that the whole country ground to a halt.
