Dangers at Walthamstow Central

MP Involved

Caged passengers

Even if the new arrangement for segregating passengers at Walthamstow Central is safe, which is a big if, it makes you feel as if you are cattle being herded into your pen. The cage structure is an eyesore and an insult to the numerous passengers who use the station.

When we objected to the eyesore of the new buildings in the station car park never did we realise the station would be brought down to the same level of miserableness. Network Rail is already ignoring the new development as the litter is not swept up and as for the footpath to Queens Road it is equally miserable!

After many years and battles the Council got it right with the new Scene development which not only looks good but seems to be prospering. So as this part of Walthamstow shines the station and its surrounds slips towards being a slum - is this really what the planners have been working for all these years!!
