Residents who live in Leyton, Forest and Grove Green wards will have the chance to elect a new Community Chair and Vice Chair at the Leyton and Whipps Cross Community Council meeting on Monday (November 6).
Candidates who have put themselves forward for nomination will be introduced and residents will also have the chance to put forward their own candidates as well as voting for the positions.
Monday’s meeting will be an important opportunity for Leyton and Whipps Cross Residents to take part in grass roots democracy and have a real say in the future of Leyton.
Before I was elected to the Council and became the Councillor Chair, I was the Community Council’s Community Vice Chair. I really enjoyed the role and so I would urge interested residents to come along and participate.
Other issues on the agenda include an update on the work of the Police Safer Neighbourhood Team and their impact on crime in the Leyton and Whipps Cross Area and a presentation by the Metropolitan Police about the proposed Hainault Road custody facility.
Alongside local councillors, representatives from the Safer Neighbourhood Team, health services and Neighbourhood Watch will also attend the meeting and there will be an Olympic Park exhibition including maps and plans of the area.
The meeting will take place at George Mitchell School in Farmer Road, Leyton, from 7.30pm on Monday (November 6).

Leyton residents concerned about crime and community safety, will be pleased to know that I am now doing a regular monthly joint surgery with the fantastic Leyton Safer Neighbourhoods Police Team.
The new surgeries are being held on every fourth Saturday of the month at the usual venue, the Class Education Centre near Leyton Asda.
Saturday’s first joint surgery was a huge success. Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Azhar Choudhry (pictured above right talking to a local Leyton resident) and colleague Jon Barclay went down a storm with local residents – people were really pleased to see Jon and Azhar – whom they know very well – working alongside me, their local Leyton ward councillor.
It was also great to do my surgery outside in the fresh air (rather than couped up inside an anonymous building) and meet local residents who weren’t expecting to see me.
I would thoroughly recommend this kind of surgery to any other councillors reading this. Doing your surgery outside is much more fun!
Thanks so much again to the Leyton Safer Neighbourhoods Team.
I am very much looking forward to next month’s joint Leyton ward police and councillor surgery
