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.
