Forest Road Perception Survey
Hello
We are very pleased to inform you that the first stage of engagement on making improvements to Forest Road has now started.
Businesses and residents in the local area will be asked to complete a “Perception Survey” (see link below); and comment on the current street environment and provide views on what they would like the Council to address to enhance the area.
Officers have now organised delivery of the Perception Survey to all addresses within the boundary (see link). The survey will also be available online, which will be collated and analysed in tandem with the hard copy returns of the questionnaire.
At the same time officers will conduct a face to face survey with all businesses fronting and immediately adjacent to Forest Road for its entire length. This will provide value information around business views of the Road and key information such as loading and parking data.
The results of the surveys will then be fed into the scheme proposals that will be taken to formal consultation later this year. We will also feedback the results of the survey to everyone who took part.
Please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss the scheme

EMD Sold
There seems to be some confusion about who has bought the EMD. According to WFM Cllr Robbins informs us Antic has bought it but other sources said RMP Properties had. The reality is so much money is needed to purchase it from UCKG and to restore the listed building various companies will be involved.
The most important aspect is that English Heritage ensure the building is properly restored to a high standard and Waltham Forest Planning department make sure they keep a close eye on what is going on. Restoring the building will not need planning permission but redevelopment may well need a planning application. So far Antic seem to have been economical with the truth so the question has to be asked why have their plans not been made public yet? Presumably the millions of pounds committed to the development have not been done just from ideas on the back of a fag packet.
Soho Theatre Company is ready with plans to run the finished venue but are they being included in the plans? - apparently Antic will have it ready by Christmas - my bet is it will not be Christmas 2015!!
