New Waltham Forest Echo website launched

The new year is coming, so we’ve decided to have a refresh

The new Waltham Forest Echo website

2022 was certainly a year for news in Waltham Forest and the world beyond. To get ready for the coming year which will prove noless full of news, the Waltham Forest Echo website has had a bit of a revamp and refresh.

We think the sections, page layouts, navigation and other options will give a far better reading experience for readers and make it much easier for visitors to find the news and features they’re looking for.

We’re really excited about the new look and we think you will be, too. It’s got everything the old site had, just better organised and easier to read and enjoy. We’ll be adding more sections, options and functions as the year unfolds. We’ll iron out any bugs you spot, too.

Here’s to 2023 and whatever it may bring!

Wishing all of our readers a happy new year,

The Waltham Forest Echo team.
