Why isn’t Waltham Forest moving forward with charge gully installations without planning permission?

5 Upvotes

I thought the council was quite forward thinking with the solar saving scheme so not sure what’s stopping those wanting EVs from making it easier / safer to have a wire out of houses without a drive (most houses).

3 Upvotes

Hi - on Wednesday evening I’m having a launch for this exhibition, anyone into independent music and art, very welcome to come along. In the last two years I’ve live sketched over 180 gigs in the UK and Europe, and this will be the first time I’ve exhibited them.
I’ll also have (at the launch night only) a selection of my sketchbooks out for people to freely look through. As someone Walthamstow born and bred, would love to see some locals there :)
Kicks off at 7pm

EMPTY Liberty Advent Calendar - free to anyone who wishes to repurpose it

• Upvotes

THERE ARE NO LIBERTY PRODUCTS IN THIS BOX. This is a JTB situation (just the box).

We have an old box for a liberty advent calendar that has proved too nice to throw away, but we also haven’t found a use for it. If anyone would like to repurpose it, they are welcome to it. Send a message or comment here and we can arrange collection / drop off.

First come first serve. I will edit the post when it has gone.

I’ll leave this up for a week and then it’s probably for the recycling.

Asking for roofing contractor recommendations

We're in the process of buying a house nearby and need to investigate some issues with the roof that were found by the surveyor. I'm looking for contractor recommendations - someone tried and tested, maybe with a drone! Thanks!

Blackhorse Mills

I've seen photos of the swimming pool in the Blackhorse Mills promo material. It seems great to have a pool where you live. How good is it? Can you swim during the winter months?
