Noticeboard
As the new year started, we still were not able to open to the public because of the ongoing ventilation issue. However, the Thursday morning working parties continued, as did the Thursday afternoon Valley Ward community police surgeries on selected Thursdays. At the working parties, we continued to issue Covid test kits on behalf of the council. The council also asked us to issue scarves and gloves to those in need of them during the cold winter weather. The next development was the restarting of the Valley Ward councillor surgeries on Saturday mornings.

Details of the Councillors and their Surgeries
Dates for the Councillor Surgeries for the first 3 months
An online consultation into the council's plans to regenerate the Chingford Mount Area carried over from November into the New Year, with residents invited to provide their comments.
Boards were created to illustrate these initial plans in some detail. These boards were displayed in local shop windows to allow local residents to view them. From 10th to the 17th January, there were on display in the library window, as shown above.
This stage of the consultation is now closed, and the next stage will take place later this year. You can read further details here
Now three poems have been received from South Wales and added to the South Chingford Poetry Blog. You can read the latest one here.
LIBRARY RE-OPENING!
We are pleased to report that, following the fixing of a failed rear shutter, the library re-opened to the public, after having been closed for a little over two years, on Thursday 31st March. We plan initially to run a full Thursday shift, from 10am until 4pm, and a Saturday morning shift, from 10am until 1pm.
We look forward to welcoming you back!
