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.
Ward councillors together with local residents have already allocated the fund for 2008/09 during the meetings in October and November.
Please refer to the Budget and spend on individual Community Council's pages for more information.

The election of Community Chair and Community Vice-Chair will take place during the forthcoming meetings in January and February. To stand you must live in the Community Council area you are applying to. (Application PDF file 29.37 KB)
