TfL will be going ahead with the proposed<br />
changes to the W12, W13, W14 and 549 bus<br />
routes between the Walthamstow, Wanstead<br />
and Woodford areas following a consultation<br />
last year. “We received 863 responses to<br />
the consultation and would like to thank<br />
everyone who took part,” said a spokesperson.<br />
The changes are expected to take place<br />
in September, with all routes restructured<br />
and the 549 withdrawn and replaced by an<br />
extended W14 route. The new routes are<br />
available to view online. Visit wnstd.com/bus<br />
‘The discoveries made on the site of<br />
Wanstead’s Co-op were far-reaching’<br />
Astronomer James Bradley<br />
At this month’s meeting of the North East<br />
London Astronomical Society, Dr John<br />
Fisher will give a presentation about James<br />
Bradley (1692–1762), a local unsung hero of<br />
science who proved the Earth orbits the sun<br />
from observations made in Wanstead. “The<br />
consequences of Bradley’s discoveries made<br />
in a modest dwelling on the site of the present<br />
Co-op were far-reaching,” said Dr Fisher, whose<br />
presentation will take place at Wanstead<br />
House on 18 <strong>February</strong> from 1.30pm (visitors<br />
welcome). Email stevek1951@hotmail.com<br />
The Friends of Wanstead Parklands is<br />
extending an open invitation to attend its<br />
Annual General Meeting on 22 <strong>February</strong>. “As<br />
in previous years, the venue will be Wanstead<br />
Golf Club on Overton Drive. Doors will open at<br />
7pm for a 7.30pm start. After a short business<br />
meeting, Epping Forest grazier John Phillips<br />
will be giving a talk on cattle grazing in the<br />
Forest. Three cows are currently in residence in<br />
Wanstead Park and have attracted great public<br />
interest,” said a spokesperson for the charity.<br />
