Our ongoing mission to document general election literature. This from Labour candidate, following our first batch last week. Sightings of leaflets from other candidates are welcome – please send photos to info@wansteadium.com
Thanks, Sue Whitehead
More genius woolwork from the knitter of Hermon Hill – this time to celebrate mid-summer. Bravo, really.
Last year’s collapse of longstanding Wanstead law firm Wiseman Lee following its takeover by a large law group has featured on BBC One’s Morning Live (with photos by Wansteadium). Clients who were left out of pocket are still waiting refunds or compensation. To watch the item, click here – it begins at 3mins 20secs.
The 2024 Wanstead Fringe is taking place in September again for three weeks starting on Saturday 7th Sept and concluding on Saturday 28th.
The annual cultural festival includes music, theatre, comedy, film, authors, food & drink, the Jumble Trail and more. This year will be its 11th year and organisers are expecting even more events to take place than last year’s total of 130.
Some key dates are: the Duke Street party on Saturday 7th, the Open Air Kinema on Saturday 14th, the Wanstead Festival on Sunday 15th, and the Jumble Trail on Saturday 21st. Other events will be unveiled soon.
Fringe organisers are, however, seeking 73 volunteers to join the Fringe effort, in a wide variety of roles including publicity, customer service, administration, stewarding, fundraising, and also people who want to be involved specifically in the theatre, cinema and book festival events.
More details and a form for volunteers to complete is available at the Fringe website here. wansteadfringe.org
As in previous general elections we’ll share any candidate literature we receive. If you receive some before us, please feel free to photograph it (scanning in Apple Notes on an iPhone is particularly effective) and send it to info@wansteadium.com.
Like an elephant graveyard, a dustbag of half-dead vacuum cleaners assembled on Nutter Lane on Wednesday morning. By the afternoon they had gone their separate ways.
