Free on-street parking has been
doubled to one hour

drag queen performance at library
Leader of the Council,
Councillor Jas Athwal
Redbridge Council has doubled the amount
of time drivers can park for free on the
borough’s high streets from 30 minutes to one
hour. “This will be a real boost for our high
streets and help revitalise the local economy
whilst making sure there is still a good level
of turnover in parking bays – giving as many
people as possible the opportunity to use
parking spaces to pop to the shops,” said
Councillor Jas Athwal. Motorists can activate
the free on-street parking via the Ringo app or
at an upgraded pay and display machine.

who you want, to children and their families,
and anyone who’ll listen!” said a spokesperson
for Petite Pantos. The ‘storytime with a
difference’ will take place on 2 October from

Affordable housing developer Pocket Living
has broken ground on its latest project on
Gardner Close in Wanstead. “Pocket Living will
transform the disused garage site into a twostorey
building offering 20 affordable onebedroom
homes for first-time buyers – with
a 20% discount off the full market value,” said
a spokesperson. Pocket Living’s commitment
to delivering affordable housing has been
backed by the Mayor of London, who in 2017
provided the company with a £25m loan to
develop sites like Gardner Close.
