Decision day demo: youth centre<br />
campaigners at Parliament and Town Hall<br />
Campaigners<br />
will gather for a<br />
demonstration outside<br />
Redbridge Town Hall<br />
this month as they<br />
await the council’s<br />
decision on the<br />
future of Wanstead<br />
Youth Centre. The<br />
Elmcroft Avenue<br />
venue is under threat<br />
of closure following<br />
claims over £2.4m<br />
of refurbishments<br />
are needed to make it fit for purpose. “The<br />
cabinet meeting on 14 <strong>September</strong> is when the<br />
decision about the future of the youth centre<br />
will be made. We will be gathering outside<br />
from 6.30pm,” said a spokesperson for the Save<br />

“The centre is used daily by multiple groups,<br />

campaigners also took their message to<br />
Parliament. Visit wnstd.com/sowyc<br />

petition<br />
Campaigners have<br />
launched a petition<br />
to save the Margaret<br />
Centre at Whipps<br />
Cross Hospital. “This<br />
is a specialist end-oflife<br />
and palliative care<br />
unit. In the current<br />
plans for the new<br />
hospital, this awardwinning<br />
centre will<br />
not exist. We want<br />
the centre to be<br />
provided in a new<br />
purpose-designed<br />
building close to the<br />
hospital. This option<br />
should be included<br />
in the forthcoming<br />
consultation,” said<br />
an Action4Whipps<br />
spokesperson. Visit<br />
