at last month’s Wanstead Festival<br />
The Wanstead Fringe provided an ideal<br />
opportunity to revisit the popularity of<br />
last November’s local World Kindness Day<br />
celebrations. “The Fringe started with Elsa<br />
hosting a ceramic workshop, making kindness<br />
messages to be displayed at various shops.<br />
We were also at the festival, where we had a<br />
kindness tree again… We’ve got lots more<br />
exciting things happening this year, so watch<br />
this space!” said Mark Mountney of Zoology<br />
hair salon, who organised the activities with<br />
anti-bullying ambassador Elsa Arnold.<br />
Spring-flowering bulb giveaway and<br />
planting weekend this month<br />
Redbridge Council has installed a hi-tech<br />
Bigbelly bin on Snaresbrook Road as part of<br />
work undertaken with residents and the City<br />
of London to clear up Eagle Pond. “It’s a smart<br />
bin that can accommodate more rubbish,<br />
lets the council know when it’s full, requires<br />
emptying less often and reduces the risk of<br />
litter blowing out and into the pond,” said<br />
Councillor Jo Blackman. Big Belly bins hold<br />
roughly eight times more rubbish than a<br />
regular bin and compact waste automatically<br />
throughout the day.<br />

Redbridge Council will be giving away<br />
spring-flowering bulbs to the community this<br />
month, encouraging everyone to plant them<br />
as part of the Big Bulb Planting Weekend (18<br />
to 20 <strong>October</strong>). “This is part of a borough-wide<br />
movement to bring everybody together to<br />
beautify our streets… Bulbs can be planted<br />
in spaces that benefit the community,” said<br />
a spokesperson. The bulbs – which include<br />
daffodils, tulips and crocuses – must be<br />
requested by 10 <strong>October</strong> and can be collected<br />
from Wanstead Library. Visit wnstd.com/blbs<br />
