Save Walthamstow Cinema hopes that Waltham Forest Council take the same decision with Walthamstow Stadium as they did with Walthamstow's EMD/Granada cinema. Namely to help safeguard it's future as one of the borough's most important leisure venues and heritage assets; providing a source of employment, pride, enjoyment and identity for future generations of Waltham Forest residents and visitors.
No.1
Simply put L&Q have become a massive organisation and cash rich. They are doing what they want.
The land banking of the Stow site when there is a perfectly viable alternative proposal that will benefit all the community is almost criminal.
The delivery of social housing and affordable homes is now effectively privatised and these large organisations need feeding. I am not surprised they have ignored most of who will be affected as they have never asked anyone if they want the return of the Stow.
I hope the Councillors have seen through all this and refuse any L&Q applications until they learn to consult properly and react accordingly.
No.2
Did anyone notice that in last weeks waltham forest guardian there were no less that 3 seperate articles involving L&Q, In all 3 articles the residents of waltham forest disagree with L&Qs proposals and plans, yet L&Q still maintain “Thats its plans are shaped in consultation with local residents” are they talking about the 6% of local residents that were undecided whether they want greyhound racing to be returned to the “stow”. If L&Q are prepared to brush aside the wishes of 94% of local residents in order to get what they want then this says a lot about them as a charity, In my opinion, even though L&Q say thay will make a loss of £25 million if they redevelop the stow, The executives will probably earn tens of thousands of pounds from tendering contracts to various building companies and trades who will be queing up to do the work, i wonder where this money will go? i doubt if it will end up in L&Qs bank account, maybe thats why they are happy to make a loss of £25 million of taxpayers money so that they can beef up their own bank accounts. This whole affair leaves a very nasty taste in my mouth,
It is now time for the government to step in and put an end to this blatant wastage of taxpayers money and bring those responsable to justice, L&Qs behavior makes the MPs expenses scandal look like petty.

I have already e mailed the council and also L&Q. I attended the march in August 08, but please notify me of any future marches/campaigins linked to the Saveourstow campaign. I understand there was a march recently, but I never got told about it, and would have attended.
I would love to see the stow open again . it should be a conservation area , been there for 75 years , the working classes dont have anything left , tories , labour doesnt matter look how london has changed, all about the property market , its a national disgrace .
before its too late and another land mark is wipped off the map .refuse planning permission for the stow. re-open it as a dog track and give people something to do . all the pubs are closing and people have nothing to do..this is our History once its gone its gone SAVE IT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE PLEASE !!!
Anyone know of a blog for all L & Q Resident’s you can see Chief Executive Blogs on the website. But cannot see a Resident’s Blogs to have our say not only on this subject please and if so I like to hear from all over London areas and again go and see the benefits and perks these staff get at this public funded Housing Association.
