Council refuse to debate issues raised by Leyton Marshes petition in Full Council Meeting
If a petition reaches 4000 signatures Waltham Forest Council say they will debate it in Full Council. Yet, Abigail Woodman, the person who organised the petition against the Council’s plan to rezone part of Leyton Marshes for development, received the attached letter a few days ago saying that a petition will only be debated if all 4000 signatories live, work or study in Waltham Forest. Abigail’s response is also attached, and we echo her call for the issue – which affects people beyond the boundary of the borough of Waltham Forest – to be given the attention it deserves through debate at Full Council.
