Community Councils give you the opportunity to raise local issues and concerns with the Council and other service providers to find solutions. You can make suggestions to improve your neighbourhood and hear about the latest developments happening in your area.
There are six Community Councils in the borough - they have made a real difference across Waltham Forest. To find out more about successes in your local area, use the links on the left to go to your Community Council, and then click on "Successes" in the left hand menu.
Each has an annual fund of £10,000 per ward, plus £5,000 per Community Council area.
Each Community Council meets four times per year in a public venue and the meetings are open to everyone who lives or works in the borough. The meetings are chaired by a local ward councillor and a member of the local community elected annually by the attendees.
Community Councils are attended by your local ward councillors, council officers, represenatives of Ascham Homes and Safer Neighbourhood Teams, all of whom are available to speak to you on a one to one basis about issues that you wish to raise privately.
