Waltham Forest Council has produced a set of leaflets which tell you what we are doing to improve our services to you in your borough. These will help you understand more about our services, what to expect from us and how to get these services.

These are available from the website at www.walthamforest.gov.uk/council-leaflets or from any of our WFD shops or customer service points.
