Waltham Forest: Our Place in London
What will Waltham Forest look like in twenty years time?
To help shape the future of the Waltham Forest, we have talked to residents about the key issues, choices and opportunities that face the Borough. The result of this extensive consultation is development of the Sustainable Community Strategy.

Community Councils
Waltham Forest’s six Community Councils meet four times a year to discuss local issues. Come and meet your ward councillors, Council representatives and Safer Neighbourhood teams in an informal setting to talk about matters affecting the local area.

Births, Deaths, Marriages, Civil Partnerships, and Citizenships
Contact Waltham Forest Register Office to register a birth or a death, to get copies of birth, death and marriage certificates issued in the borough, or for assistance with citizenship applications.
You can give notice of your marriage or civil partnership at the Register Office and have the ceremony here if you wish. We also do naming ceremonies and renewals of vows.
You can now use the Register Office ebookings system to make an appointment for registering a birth or a death, or to make a booking to give notice of a marriage or civil partnership.
