Tuesday 4th December
Wednesday 12th December

If you are interested in attending and speaking at the Inquiry, then you should be aware that a day has been reserved for this – Wednesday 12th December. If possible you should organise your time so that you can attend and speak on this day.
We also recommend that you:
    • Attend on the first day (10am on Thursday 29thNovember) and give your name, the topic you want to speak on and, if possible, a written note of what you plan to say to Martha Clark who will be taking all names of attendees; OR
    • Email the same details (your name, the topic you want to speak on and, if possible, a written note of what you plan to say) to Martha Clark (Martha.Clark@walthamforest.gov.uk) or write to Martha c/o London Borough of Waltham Forest, Sycamore House. Rear of Walthamstow Town Hall. Forest Road.Walthamstow E17 4JF
The Inspector will not refuse permission for any third party to speak on other days; this is simply to try to be as fair as possible to all of the third parties who want to make their views known.

We've put together some questions & answers on what happens at the public inquiry, who attends
and when it runs here

We don't expect people to take weeks off to be there, but if you can attend on the first 2 days
from Thursday 29 November at Walthamstow Assembly Hall, it will show the
decision makers the strength of support for the cinema and Trust.

If you would like to speak at the inquiry and want advice or guidance, please
email hello@savewalthamstowcinema.org and we'll do our best to help.


Please check our website for updates on the inquiry and campaign over the next few weeks.

CPO update

This article suggests that the possibility of the council forcing the UCKG
to sell the cinema to them is growing. It will however be subject to the Appeals being
rejected by the government. 


A CPO will be debated by councillors at Waltham Forest Town Hall from 7pm on Tuesday 4th December
and supporters are encouraged to attend and hear the discussion.


Thank you for your support
