Vision RCL’s application to build a café/bar<br />
kiosk on Christchurch Green has been given<br />
the go-ahead by Redbridge Council, despite<br />
opposition from residents. “The proposal<br />
received 192 objections and five responses<br />
in support, the second-highest number of<br />
objections to any planning application in<br />
Wanstead,” said Scott Wilding of the Wanstead<br />
Society. The plans suggest construction will be<br />
complete by November. Prior to the decision,<br />
more than 40 residents gathered in the park to<br />
demonstrate their opposition.<br />
Community supports Wanstead’s<br />
Big Issue vendor hit by flash floods<br />
High Street Wanstead will be closed to traffic<br />
between Grove Park and Wanstead Place on<br />
12 <strong>September</strong> to create a car-free Wanstead<br />
Festival. “This will allow for easy movement<br />
between High Street shops and cafés and<br />
Christchurch Green,” said Councillor Jo<br />
Blackman. The community event – which<br />
runs from 11am to 6pm – is making a return<br />
this year along with the Wanstead Fringe<br />
(3 to 19 <strong>September</strong>). “These events highlight<br />
the best of Wanstead, so we wish organisers<br />
every success.” Visit wnstd.com/festival21<br />

Local residents have raised over £3,700 to<br />
support Wanstead’s Big Issue vendor, Monica,<br />
whose home was flooded during the recent<br />
heavy rainfall. “She is a single mother who has<br />
had a hard time of it, but things are looking<br />
up as she is about to gain indefinite leave to<br />
remain in <strong>September</strong>,” said Blythe Pepino, who<br />
started the fundraiser last month. The money<br />
will allow Monica and her five sons to move<br />
into a two-bedroom flat, having moved out of<br />
their previous accommodation so the owner<br />
can renovate. Visit wnstd.com/monica<br />
