6 South Woodford Village Gazette New round of local forums following cancellation Charity aerobathon in aid of Woodford Bridge charity Redbridge Council’s latest West Neighbourhood Local Forum – which was scheduled for 12 December – was cancelled because of the General Election. The next round of local forums will start in January. “We are identifying venues for these meetings. Please check back in the coming weeks for updated information,” said a council spokesperson. The forums provide opportunities for residents to work with officers and councillors to find solutions to local issues, and to ask questions to the council leader directly. The West Neighbourhood incorporates South Woodford, Churchfields, Monkhams, Bridge, Wanstead Village and Wanstead Park wards. Questions and answers from previous forums can be viewed online.

It follows a £99,990 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

We managed to find an original Felicity Kendal vinyl exercise LP from the 1980s and hook it up to a sound system… we all enjoyed stepping back in time for the aerobathon,” said South Woodford resident Karen Smith, who runs Fitgirlslim in Gants Hill, Chigwell, Woodford and Clayhall. “Thanks to the generosity of our club members, throughout the year, we have now raised over £5,000 for ELHAP and had a lot of fun along the way.” Visit swvg.co.uk/fgs Suggestions for electric vehicle charging points Woodford Town FC officials have expressed their delight following Redbridge Council’s approval of a £1.6m revamp of Ashton Playing Fields in Woodford Green, which will enable the club – currently sharing a ground with Harlow FC – to return to the local area. “This is a real step forward and it will be a fantastic reward for a lot of effort when the building work begins,” said a spokesperson. The club, which competes in the Essex Senior League, are keen to build community ties, and have been working with local schools to create a time capsule that will be buried under the proposed 350-seater grandstand. “It’s great the wheels are turning in our return home. There has been a lot of support in the local area for this. The future is looking very exciting!” added supporter Lloyd Duddridge. Visit swvg.co.uk/wtfc Redbridge Council is seeking feedback from residents as to where communal charging points for electric vehicles should be located. “The advance of this technology has been slower in this country than some others, but gradually the electric car revolution is taking off. Redbridge Council is keen to support this form of transport, providing a number of charging points across the borough. This is an ongoing process, so expressions of interest are being invited regarding possible sites,” said Councillor Paul Donovan. Figures provided by the BBC Shared Data Unit in 2019 show Redbridge has a lower than average ratio of charger ports to licensed electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles when compared to the rest of UK (21 charging locations and 426 licensed electric cars).
