Post citizens assembly privacy notice

In February and March 2024, Waltham Forest Council delivered a Citizens’ Assembly on the Future of Neighbourhood Policing in partnership with the Metropolitan Police Service. An independent partner, the Involve Foundation, guided this process. Since the Citizens’ Assembly was held, the Council has worked in partnership with the Police to implement the recommendations. 

Within the Council, the implementation of the recommendations is being championed by the Neighbourhoods and Environment Directorate (NED). NED are responsible for numerous areas related to neighbourhoods, including community safety. 

If you have questions regarding this service or our privacy practices, you can contact us by e-mail or in writing at the address below.

On the final weekend of the Citizens’ Assembly, Involve asked assembly members if they would like to share their contact details with the Council.
