About Community Councils

Waltham Forest’s six Community Councils meet four times a year to discuss local issues.

Your Community Council gives you the opportunity to meet your ward councillors, Council representatives and Safer Neighbourhood teams in an informal setting to talk about matters affecting the local area.

Each Community Council also has an annual fund to allocate to local projects, and residents are invited to suggest how to spend the funds.

This year each Community Council has increased its funding £10,000 for each ward plus £5,000 for each Community Council area.

Local residents will be invited to vote for their preferred choice from a list of funding proposals during the forthcoming meetings in October and November. Please refer to the individual Community Council's pages for more information.
