Poetry, cartoons and folktales at<br />
World Book Day celebrations<br />
New parking payment service across<br />
Redbridge accepts cash<br />
The Co-op is one<br />
of several PayPoint<br />
locations in Wanstead<br />
Pupils at Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School<br />
in Wanstead enjoyed a week of workshops as<br />
part of World Book Day celebrations in March.<br />
“Pupils had a lesson with cartoonist James<br />
Parsons, were entertained with Caribbean<br />
folktales by storyteller Wendy Shearer and<br />
completed a poetry workshop with World<br />
Poetry Slam champion Harry Baker. The<br />
week ended with a whole-school storytelling<br />
bonanza, including a parent session with tales<br />
from around the world led by storyteller Pat<br />
Ryan,” said headteacher Ruth Boon.<br />
Drivers can now use PayPoint locations to<br />
pay for parking in Redbridge. “The PayPoint<br />
scheme gives people the opportunity to<br />
pay for a range of goods and services at<br />
local retailers signed up as a PayPoint site.<br />
More than 100 sites already exist across the<br />
borough, and since the start of March, they<br />
have been activated to accept payment for<br />
parking, including by cash,” said a council<br />
spokesperson. The PayPoint scheme is offered<br />
in addition to the existing RingGo parking<br />
payment service. Visit wnstd.com/paypoint<br />

The historic High Stone at the junction of<br />
Hollybush Hill and New Wanstead has been<br />
repaired and reinstated following damage<br />
sustained in a car crash last August. Originally<br />
a mile marker showing distances to Epping,<br />
Ongar, Whitechapel and Hyde Park Corner,<br />
an obelisk has stood in roughly the same<br />
location since the 18th century, although the<br />
current High Stone dates from the 1930s after<br />
the original was also damaged by a vehicle.<br />
The base of the monument is likely to be a<br />
remnant of the original 18th-century stone.<br />
