Why has Woodford Green no facilities?

As we have 5,370 school children at school every day, excluding residents and teachers, why is there no count down at bus stops; no bus from Woodford Wells to Woodford station; no playground for young children and no swimming pool to teach pupils to swim?

Once again, we seem not to be included in Redbridge borough’s grand plan.
