Скачать или смотреть Iain Duncan Smith on Levelling Up Funding in Chingford & Woodford Green

The £8.4m award from the Levelling Up fund awarded to Waltham Forest by the Conservative government will be invested in projects co-created with local children and young people to bring changes to town centres and parks in the area

Chingford Mount town centre will benefit from more greenery and public art. By including local people and children in the design process they will be able to see that their voices and opinions are valued as they take a lead role in shaping the area in which they live and study.

Highams Park town centre will be given an economic boost with new retail spaces for startups and small businesses alongside enhancements including repaving the high street, new rain gardens to reduce the risk from flooding, and more street-lighting to help people feel safe. A new raised crossing will make it easier to access the area from the nearby Aldriche Estate.
