CPZs and Mini Holland: Hoe Street Survey 
and Parking Around Eastfield Ave 

Controlled Parking Zones and changes to the roads as part of the ' Mini Holland' project continue to dominate my inbox. Whilst these are both matters overseen by the Council I am determined to try to ensure residents are aware of how to raise concerns and feedback proposals to improve the schemes currently being considered for both parking and road layout in Walthamstow. 

Following my previous update in last week’s newsletter, in addition to surveys about plans for changing the roads landscape  in the Lea Bridge survey and Blackhorse village survey, I can now share also share surveys for possible options for the Hoe Street and Wood Street areas if you would like to participate.

In addition, the East of Market Quarter (EMQ) Residents' Association have been in touch given their concerns parking on their streets by non-residents (around the Eastfield Avenue area) after the opening of the 'Scene' venue in Walthamstow town centre. EMQ Residents Association intends to raise this matter as part of the wider Market East parking consultation due to start later this year. They are asking for residents who live around this area and near to them to email  to let them know if this is an issue affecting you and if you would be interested in meeting with them to discuss further.
