LEYTON: Muslim march to go ahead despite snow
AN ISLAMIC march is going ahead despite the snow.
Despite between two and four inches of snow falling overnight a Muslim march can go ahead because the route has been gritted.
Nearly ten thousand people are expected to attend the Milaad, the annual celebration of the birth of Prophet Muhammed, now in its 30th year.
Former police commander of Waltham Forest Mark Benbow will be presented with a shield for his service of the community, and Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy and council leader Chris Robbins will join him.
The march will begin outside the Waltham Forest Islamic Association in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, at 2pm, before going down Hoe Street and returning to the centre about an hour later.
