Oh dear. The old story repeats itself – you know, pornographic playing cards making their way into a children’s sofa bought in Walthamstow by a Wanstead family (as reported by the Sun). How many times have we been through this? MORAL: Nothing good comes from Walthamstow.
Date tease
“Date finally set for Tesco opening” shouts the Wanstead Guardian.
So what is it? What’s the date? When? When? Tell us?
Ahh. One crucial element missed out of the story.
It's coming, finally
Sad, really
Uh oh. Parking charges
On-street parking charges on their way to Wanstead? Library to be the thin end of the wedge. Wanstead Guardian story has details.
The library in Spratt Hall Road will be the first in the borough to introduce parking charges in a money raising scheme that will also see charges introduced for parking in streets around public parks in Redbridge.
*There is, however, a brief window of parking opportunity. Details here.
Post-Woolies Wanstead
Nice post on the Wanstead Society blog about how our High Street shops are trying to fill the Woolies’ shaped hole.
Mas Beg and his doughty assistant Trevour [at the Pet Shop] are at this moment rejigging the shelves to accommodate more such useful items. Trevour tells us that they are open to suggestions and will always try to order whatever is requested. This is yet another example of how special it is to have our own small shops. They are Wanstead’s equivalent of the U.S. cavalry galloping to our assistance.
