Crossing Point over Chingford Lane; Selwyn School; Volunteers Needed for Station Garden and Highams Park Day – Stallholder Pitches Available
Please find below some information on local matters and activities which you may find of interest.
1. Improvements to crossing point over Chingford Lane
Many years of lobbying by local community groups and Councillors has paid off. On 6th June the Council’s Highways team will be implementing work to improve the crossing point from the forest to Woodford Golf Course, where the footpath from the behind the Lake meets Chingford Lane between The Avenue and Lichfield Road (where the arrow is on the map below). It will not be a zebra crossing but the kerb will be dropped each side, the road surface altered to improve driver awareness and visibility improved. It is hoped that these measures will make it safer for people to cross the road. The works are expected to take around 3 weeks and there will be some disruption to traffic flows during this period.
2. Selwyn School Demolition
The final phase of demolition of Selwyn School is expected shortly and some local residents are lobbying for the remaining buildings to be retained to help provide more school places in the area. You can find out more by clicking on this link. https://
