SAVE OUR NHS
The patient is looking none too healthy! We have to make sure that all the services he or she may need are available LOCALLY. On a recent coach tour by Health Scrutiny Councillors, visiting the 3 A & E departments we currently have in N.E.London, Cllr.John Beanse drew attention to the busy activity and asked pointedly: "If we end up with only 2, instead of 3 A & E departments in this part of London - AS MAY WELL HAPPEN under current proposals - how could the NHS possibly cope?" We have to keep up the battle to save our NHS.

New role for former post office
Permission has been granted by Council officers for the shop at 66, SEWARDSTONE ROAD (former post office) to become a Police Safer Neighbourhoods Unit. The FOCUS Team fought long and hard to save this local post office and organised a petition. Sadly people were ignored. Now at least the shop is to have an important role once again. Chingford Green Lib Dem by-election candidate Graham Woolnough (standing directly in front of the closed post office in the photo) comments: “It’s good news that our Police Safer Neighbourhoods Teams are now up to strength throughout the borough. They perform a vital role in combating anti-social behaviour and I welcome the fact that they will have a base in the heart of the community on a shopping parade in Chingford Green ward.”North Chingford re-vamp!
NEW LEASE OF LIFE FOR NORTH CHINGFORD LIBRARY AND ASSEMBLY HALL
It has been confirmed that the Council is to make “significant investment” in North Chingford’s Library and Assembly Hall in a million pound-plus revamp.
The improved amenities will become not only fit for purpose but will comply with health and safety and Disability and Discrimination Act requirements.
Chingford Green Lib Dem by-election candidate Graham Woolnough says: “Both buildings are an invaluable resource in our community and I warmly welcome this news. This work is much needed and is what local people and the Lib Dem FOCUS Team have been asking for.”
Work on the two buildings is due to begin in April and should be finished within six months.
The library will be refurbished first and will relocate and operate from the Assembly Hall while the work is undertaken.
