Waltham Forest residents have until 5pm on Monday 11th September to tell the council how they would spend £10,000 in their local area

Waltham Forest Council is asking residents to complete a survey asking them what changes they would like to see in their neighbourhood.

The survey is part of the council’s Let’s Talk Neighbourhood programme.

Participants are asked to share any ideas they have on how their local neighbourhood could be improved. This can include parks and playgrounds, better lighting in an underpass, path improvements or installing street furniture.

Participants can show where the improvement they want to see is by using a map to pinpoint their suggestion.

In its weekly residents newsletter the council says that there have been nearly 2,100 suggestions.

Participants must be aged 16 or over to take part.

Residents who do not have access to a computer or the internet can share their ideas on a postcard available at local libraries.

You can submit your ideas before the 11th September deadline here
