FORA has been awarded a £5000 grant such that Leytonstone School’s Computers may be used on a Saturday morning by local residents. Tuition will be supplied through the School and will be of the user-friendly kind whereby individuals will be able to work at their own pace learning how to access the internet, send emails and generally use a computer for all those activities which save money and enable individuals to communicate and follow their interests. No previous experience or knowledge is required and the format will be of the walk-in type for the duration of three school terms. The only qualification is that of living in Forest Ward.      

Litter bins are placed in our ward to keep it clean,                                  

They are there for us to put our hand rubbish in as we walk past

Rather then having to hold it all the way home.

So why do the streets of Forest ward end up like this,

This is not walking by hand rubbish, this is disgusting.

Our ward does not have to look like this these bins have not been placed to attract all sorts of house hold rubbish, due to several complaints we may lose these litter bins spotted around our ward so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be more considerate.

You may remember back in September Cllr Qureshi and my self approached the council for Bakers Arms to become a dispersal zone for anti social behavior.

A dispersal order will provide the police with additional powers to disperse groups of two or more people where the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that their presence or behaviour has resulted, or is likely to result, in a member of the public from being harassed, intimidated, alarmed or distressed. Once asked to disperse it will be a criminal offence for that person to return to the dispersal area for a 24-hour period.

If a young person under the age of sixteen is stopped in the area after 9pm and is not accompanied by an adult the police can escort them to their home address, if they are either:                

• At risk or vulnerable from anti-social behaviour, crime etc
• Causing, or at risk of causing, anti-social behaviour

Well a dispersal order has been put in place and commenced from 12noon on 23 November 2009 and will end at 11.59am on 22 May 2010 after which the council will review this again.

Following guidance from the Health Protection Agency, Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust has remained closed from most activity to enable the norovirus to clear, but will now begin the process of reopening parts of the hospital.

The A&E department reopened to ambulances on Friday 30 January 2010 and 10 wards are now back working normally.

The Maternity, Paediatrics and the Outpatients departments continue to operate as usual, as does the Emergency and Urgent Care Centre.

Elective surgery, where patients would require an in-patient stay after a procedure, remains closed at this stage.  

There continues to be no visitor access to any of the wards at Whipps Cross due to heightened infection control precautions and these will remain until further notice.

For the Maternity Department only, one birth partner will be permitted onto a ward during this time – no children will be allowed.

For Children’s services only one parent per child will be allowed.

Individual patient’s needs can be discussed with the ward Sister, who can grant permission to access in exceptional circumstances.

Security are present at entrances and their role is to question the need for access to the site.

Strict infection control safety measures remain in place and have been taken in closing the shops, restaurant and Jobs Junctions to the general public.                        

Norovirus is a common winter ailment, which can be highly contagious and causes symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea.

New principle of Leyton Sixth Form College, Mr Kevin Morrison held a meeting with the residents of surrounding streets at the collage. Officers of Safer Neighbourhood team and Cllr Farooq Qureshi were also present at this well attended meeting. Mr Ian Bell, the building works project manager explained the latest stage of the work and informed the meeting that the collage has submitted a new retrospective planning  application to the council to increase the height of the proposed sports hall. At present the collage is waiting for the funding to be finalised by the Learning Skills Council and hope to start the building work by September 09. The meeting was also informed that after the completion of proposed building work, the grass pitch at the rear of the collage will be relaid by 2012.

Residents of Nottingham Road complained that due to heavy goods traffic generated by the building works, the road surface has deteriorated significantly and is urgent need of repairs. Residents also complained about litter dropping, blaring car music, speeding and spitting allegedly caused by the students of the collage. The Principle of the collage promised to look into the matter and rectify the problem ASAP. It was resolved that the collage will stay in contact with the residents through regular meetings. 

New Principle at LSC has arranged a meeting of the residents of the streets surrounding the collage. This is to discuss any difficulties or problems faced by the residents because of the collage. Cllr F Qureshi and Cllr S Safder will also be present at this meeting. If you are interested, please do come.       Wednesday 24th June

Leytonstone United Free Church is planning to give their adopted garden a face lift by erecting a mosaic.  Students from the Sixth Form College have offered to design the mosaic.

Funding is currently being sought to meet the cost.  If you can help in any way please contact the Leytonstone United Free church please.

The Forest Safer Neighbourhood Team, together with the Youth Panel at Leyton Sixth Form College, has identified a major problem around the College and surrounding streets of spitting in the streets.  This is disgusting, makes the area look bad and can be a health hazard.

“So please help keep our area clean.”

We are very pleased to see that the temporary portacabins at Leyton 6th Form College are now up and running. These have been put in place to enable major works to be done on the main building.

When the work is finished the cabins will be taken down and the green field will be re-instated.  We will keep you informed of the developments.
