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and the 549 withdrawn and replaced by an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 swvg.co.uk/bus<br />
Help create a display of memorabilia<br />
to celebrate cinema history<br />
The South Woodford Odeon is celebrating<br />
the building’s history by creating a display<br />
of memorabilia. “The building is 90 years old<br />
this year, and we invite anyone who has old<br />
photos, newspaper clippings or other items<br />
relating to the site to bring them in so we can<br />
copy them and add them to a display to be<br />
unveiled later in the year,” said a spokesperson.<br />
The cinema on the High Road – designed by<br />
SB Pritlove in the Art Deco style – was opened<br />
on 5 November 1934 by Winston Churchill and<br />
was originally called The Majestic.<br />
The South Woodford branch of Barclays has<br />
remained open despite plans to close in<br />
February. “I understand the delayed closure<br />
is due to an issue raised by LINK, who are<br />
concerned there will not be enough deposit<br />
solutions in the area. While I would prefer the<br />
branch to remain open permanently, I am<br />
pleased that Barclays will not be closing until<br />
appropriate deposit solutions are established,”<br />
said Councillor Joe Hehir. At the time of<br />
writing, there is no timescale for a new closing<br />
date. Visit swvg.co.uk/barclays<br />
