Last chance for Wanstead Park consultation

It’s the last chance for Wanstead residents to have a say over the future of Wanstead Park, Bush Wood and the western part of Wanstead Flats (ie not the main part of Wanstead Flats). The City of London has been consulting people over future plans, but the deadline for taking part is Friday 7 Jan. Completed forms can be e-mailed to the Corporation, so there is still time to be included. More details, plus links to the forms, are available here.
