New caf now open at
Leyton Jubilee Park

Last summer, residents living
near Leyton Jubilee Park
were asked what additional
facilities they would like to see
in the park. A resounding 68
per cent that responded to a
consultation said they would
like to see a caf open.
So, the Council went out to
tender and the successful bidders
have been announced as Chicchi
a company that already operates
two other cafs in East London.
The proprietor of Chicchi, Metin
Esen, spoke to Waltham Forest
News about how excited he is
to open his third outlet in Leyton
Jubilee Park.
He said: Its wonderful to branch
out and to open somewhere a
little different. The park is such a
beautiful location and even while
going through the process of
Leyton Jubilee Park goes from
strength to strength with a brand
new caf Chicci the latest
addition to entice residents out
in the sunshine

There are many reasons to
try and live more sustainably,
and using Forest Recycling
Projects (FRP) The Paint Place
is one of the many small ways
that you can help to combat
climate change.
Im a trustee of FRP, a local
social enterprise and charity with
environmental and social aims.
We engage with organisations and
communities in London through
a range of practical initiatives to
reduce, re-use and recycle waste
and to help people live more
sustainably.
Based just off Hoe Street in
Walthamstow, we have been going
since 1989. Were the grand old
age of 25 this year, and all of our
work and activities are supported
by volunteers.
FRP sees waste paint as a
resource and an environmental
problem that can be turned into
a social and sustainable solution.
More than 336 million litres of paint
are sold in the UK each year (retail
and trade), of which an estimated
50 million litres are unused and
stored in homes, garages or sheds
or just thrown away. Thats the
equivalent of enough paint to ll 20
Olympic-sized swimming pools
and a massive waste of resources.
The Paint Place is FRPs agship
paint re-use project. Residents can
recycle or donate any unwanted
or surplus paint at three of Walham
Forests Household Waste and
Recycling Centres: Gateway Road,
Leyton; Kings Road, Chingford and
South Access Road, Walthamstow.
The reclaimed paint is assessed,
sorted and re-mixed if needed and
then sold to residents via The Paint
Place shop (2c Bakers Avenue,
Walthamstow, E17 9AW) and
to community groups and trade
organisations through our paint
warehouse (Unit 7, The Sidings,
Leytonstone, E11 1HD) retailing
from just 1 per litre.
The Paint Place shop is open to
the public from Tuesday to Friday,
10am to 4pm and on Saturdays
from 10am to 2pm. Our paint
is available in all types, colours
and sizes and because it costs
considerably less than new paint,
with a general saving of 5 per
litre, you can decorate your home
without spending a fortune.
If youve recently nished a
project and want to donate leftover
paint, remember to store it in a cool
place and replace the lid rmly to
prevent it from drying out. It can
then be re-used elsewhere in the
borough.
Lots of small actions like buying
reclaimed paint can make a big
difference to the planet and save
you money at the same time.

On Tuesday 24 June it was
agreed to introduce a Selective
Licensing scheme in the
borough next year to tackle
anti-social behaviour issues in
the area.
The decision was made by
Waltham Forest Councils Cabinet,
following a consultation which
attracted over 1,500 responses from
residents, landlords and tenants
between November 2013 and
January 2014. The Cabinet report
reected the strength of feeling in
the borough and underlined the
point that a strong link had been
found between levels of anti-social
behaviour and homes that are
privately rented.
Representatives of local landlords
groups also attended the meeting,
and in response to comments made
during the consultation the Council
reduced the number of conditions
relating to the licence. It was also
agreed that good landlords, who
are fully compliant with the scheme,
would be able to apply for reduced
fee early bird licences.
With the private rented sector
making up one third of homes in the
borough, the Council is committed
to doing what it can to ensure that
the homes are well managed as
more and more residents rely upon
these landlords for housing.
It will mean all of the boroughs
private landlords will have to apply
for a licence and meet conditions
such as obtaining references for
new tenants before allowing them to
rent their home. They will also have
to take reasonable steps to prevent
and deal with anti-social behaviour
in their properties.
Cllr Khevyn Limbajee, Cabinet
Member for Housing, told Waltham
Forest News: Selective Licensing is
the best way to make sure landlords
dont simply take the rent from
irresponsible tenants and then turn
their back on the problems they
cause for their neighbours.
Decent landlords are enthusiastic
and understand the benets of the
scheme and recognise that the
fee is likely to only equate to a few
pounds a week. This is a small
price to pay in order to bring rogue
landlords into line and stop them
sullying the reputations of all good
landlords in the borough.
But more importantly it will mean
bad landlords will have to stop
their tenants from making the lives
of some of our residents a misery
and that is a price well worth
paying.

Unlawful eviction
prosecution
An aunt and niece who twice
unlawfully evicted their pregnant
tenant and her husband have
been found guilty at Stratford
Magistrates Court after a case
was brought by Waltham Forest
Council and the local police.
On Wednesday 28 May, landlady
Ogechi Anyanwu, 40, of Manford
Court, Chigwell, and her niece
Chanel Anyanwu, 22, of Cann Hall
Road, Leytonstone, were found
guilty of unlawful eviction and
harassment under Section 1 of the
Protection from Eviction Act 1977.
The pair were sentenced on
Tuesday 17 June and both women
were given 80 hours supervised
community service and ordered to
pay 250 costs and a 60 victim
surcharge.
The hard work and diligence of
Waltham Forest Councils Tenancy
Relations Ofcer and her close
work with the police saw them both
visit the address on Monday 30
September last year and employ
locksmiths to gain entry and change
the locks.
This allowed the tenants, who had
rented a rst oor bedroom for four
months, to re-enter the property. The
landlady and her niece agreed to
Landlady Ogechi Anyanwu, and her niece Chanel Anyanwu, right,
were found guilty of unlawful eviction and harassment
return to the address to meet police
whereupon they were arrested.
The property owner, Ogechi
Anyanwu, denied that the couple
had been unlawfully evicted three
days earlier, despite the locks being
changed without their knowledge,
trespassing in their room and
removing their belongings with no
notice.
Chanel Anyanwu, who also
resided in the shared property,
claimed to police that she had given
the couple a valid notice to quit,
suggesting they were lodgers, but
during the hearing these claims
were found to be false and other
paperwork was discovered to be
lacking. The tenants, a lady who was
ve months pregnant at the time and
her husband, had suffered an earlier
unlawful eviction on Sunday 15
September 2013.
This is a great result and a good
example of partnership working
between the Council and the police.
It sends a strong message to
other landlords who believe that
simply disregarding something as
binding as an Assured Shorthold
Tenancy is acceptable. Tenants
should feel secure in their own home
and not be made to suffer this sort
of injustice.

Making you feel safe in
Waltham Forest is a top
priority for the Council and its
strategic partners including
the police and voluntary sector
organisations.
Detecting and preventing crime
not only makes the borough a safer
and better place to live, work and
visit; it also saves money for the
public purse in the long term.
There are a number of activities
currently happening in the borough
designed to crack down on criminal
and anti-social behaviour.
Day of Action
The rst in what will be an
ongoing series of events, a Day of
Action took place in Leyton town
centre on Thursday 3 July.
Focusing on problem street
drinkers, littering and other
environmental crimes based
on concerns raised by residents
in the Leyton area the day saw
ofcers from the Council and police
working side by side.
There were 160 enforcement
activities carried out throughout
the day and evening. This resulted
in the police issuing two notices
for drinking alcohol in an exclusion
zone, while Council ofcers handed
out nine trade waste notices, nine
household waste presentation
notices, two overgrown front
garden notices, three litter
clearance notices, ve referrals to
HM Revenues and Customs for
offences including those involving
breaches of new minimum alcohol
pricing regulation. Five potential
houses of multiple occupation
(HMOs) were also identied. In
addition, there was an offence
under the Dangerous Dogs Act,
with a person found to be walking
a banned breed dog without a
muzzle, collar or lead.
Council and police data was
shared and analysed in a new
approach that led to identifying
and targeting key borough crime
hotspots and addressing areas of
concern with other partners.
Cllr Liaquat Ali MBE JP, Cabinet
Member for Community Safety and
Cohesion, told Waltham Forest
News: The Council is working
closely with the police to target
criminal activities in specic parts of
the borough.
Resident safety is our priority
and we want people to come
forward and report anything
worrying to the Council or police
immediately so we can take
appropriate action.
Following its success, the Day
of Action initiative will be rolled out
across the borough and will now
take place on a monthly basis.
Residents can report anti-social
behaviour, environmental crimes
such as littering, y-tipping and dog
fouling and noise nuisance to the
Council. (See more info section for
details.)
Raising the alarm for
community safety
Residents safety is the most
important thing for Neil Howard,
Waltham Forests CCTV Control
Room and Services Manager.
With anything from 250 to 350
potential criminal incidents taking
place locally every month, the 214
cameras that operate across the
borough, and Neils team, play a
vital role.
The control room can spot
anything from environmental crime
to other forms of criminal activity
taking place. Neil and his team are
in constant contact with the police
control centre in Bow, and with
other emergency services, to report
goings on and monitor potential
crimes that can escalate.
Neil told Waltham Forest News:
We want everyone who lives,
works and visits Waltham Forest
to be in safe hands. Our aim is to
detect and deter. We dont solve
crimes, but we work closely with
the police to help prevent them
happening.
Last year, CCTV evidence from
the control room resulted in the
capture of a gang who had carried
out a cash in transit robbery
where locations holding large
amounts of cash are targeted on
Hoe Street, Walthamstow. The
gang had previously been involved
in similar robberies around London.
Neil added: Walthamstow
Market, being the longest outdoor
market in Europe and a busy
area, is a particular hotspot that
is monitored regularly by CCTV
operatives.
In 2012, we were the only
Olympic host borough that was
able to monitor the entire Olympic
Torch Relay in our borough from
start to nish. Well be doing the
same when the Tour De France
comes here on Monday 7 July.

purposes and is the Councils

Interim Gang Injunction
A Chingford Hall resident, who
cannot currently be named for legal
reasons, has also just been issued
with an Interim Gang Injunction.
The man, who is alleged to be
a key member in a known gang,
is being accused of intimidation
and harassment towards other
residents.
A full hearing, attended by the
Council and Waltham Forest police,
will take place in September at
the West London County Court in
Hammersmith.
Until then, the defendant is not
allowed to do a number of things
including threatening violence,
causing damage to homes or
belongings and verbally abusing
people or encourage anyone else
to carry out these actions on his
behalf.
Cllr Liaquat Ali MBE JP, Cabinet
Member for Community Safety and
Cohesion, said: We know that
people can be very afraid of this
kind of anti-social behaviour and we
would like to reassure them that we
are doing all we can to tackle it.
We are taking a two pronged
approach working with the police
on cases like this, and then working
with young people through our
Enough is Enough programme
to encourage them to choose a
lifestyle away from gang activity and
culture.

What you say
Residents tell Waltham Forest News what they think about the Councils work to make our
community a safer place
Hamet Yasar, Walthamstow
Ive worked in a local shop
for six months and its always
been safe here. We have
CCTV, of course, which is
necessary nowadays, and
can stop crime. I feel that
Waltham Forest is a safe
place to live and work in. I
used to work in another shop
in the borough for nine years
and never had any problems.
I think there should be more
cameras though to deter
crime and its good that there
are many CCTV cameras in
the borough.
Leonard Hutchinson, Leytonstone
Ive lived in the borough
since 1971 and Ive always
felt safe here and there have
been no problems at all. I
love living here and thats
why Ive stayed for 40 odd
years. Having said that, and
now that Im older too, I
think CCTV is needed here.
Its important in this day and
age to be able to stay safe
as theres a lot of crime out
there and you never know
when it can come your way.
Agnieszka Szymanska, Walthamstow
I like living in Waltham Forest
and I do feel its very safe
most of the time for myself
and my child. Generally,
there are no problems at all,
however, three years ago,
someone did steal a purse
from me, which had some
cash and my travel card in it,
but since then its been ne.
I think it would be better if
we had more police on the
streets, Id feel safer knowing
they were there.
Shirley Hurley, Leytonstone
Ive lived in Waltham Forest
for 36 years now and I
think we should denitely
have more police on the
streets. Unfortunately, Ive
been mugged myself in
Leytonstone. I reported it
to the police and they were
very good, but the muggers
were never caught, the last
time was two years ago. I
dont think it is safe anywhere
nowadays. We denitely
need more CCTV too those
cameras should be on every
road. I do worry when Im
out, however, I now go out
with my husband and I feel
much safer.
Tanisha Elmaz, Walthamstow
Ive lived in Wood Street
with my family since I can
remember and I do feel its a
really safe area. I dont think
we need any more police
on the streets and no more
CCTV either, its a bit like Big
Brother otherwise.

Drapers Field is
open for play!
n New-look Drapers Field is transformed by Olympic money
n Fantastic facilities provide residents with a real legacy from the Olympic
Games
The 2million refurbishment
of Drapers Field is complete,
providing Waltham Forest
residents with a brand new rst-
class park and sports facility.
A new 3G all-weather sport pitch,
junior natural turf football pitch, new
play facilities, cycling prociency
course, new landscaping and
refurbishment to the southern sports
pavilion have all been introduced.
The landscape of the site has also
been transformed, greatly improving
accessibility to the site, with a new
pathway connecting to the new
bridge into the Olympic Park at
Temple Mills Lane.
On Wednesday 25 June the
new Mayor of Waltham Forest,
Cllr Terry Wheeler, Chief Executive
Martin Esom, Council Leader Chris
Robbins and Deputy Leader and
Cabinet Member for Environment,
Cllr Clyde Loakes, went down to
see what all the fuss is about.
Its a wonderful place, packed
with local people young and old
enjoying everything from the water
fountains to the table tennis, not
to mention the football, said Chris
Robbins.
Anyone who wants to see
something tangible and lasting that
the Olympic and Paralympic Games
has brought to this borough as a
legacy should get themselves down
here. Its fantastic.
Drapers Field was temporarily
leased to the Olympic Delivery
Authority (ODA) in September 2011.
After the Games, the temporary
facilities were dismantled and the
site cleared and handed back to the
Council.
Prior to its use by the ODA,
Drapers Field had an all-weather
pitch and large playing eld, whereas
it now has radically improved
facilities that the people of Leyton
and beyond will benet from.
It was very important to the
Council that the design of Drapers
Field would not only encourage
walking and cycling in the local
area, but also improve connections
with the Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park, East Village, Stratford City and
Chobham Academy.
The funding for the improvements
has come via the Leyton Open
Spaces Investment Programme,
using money provided by the ODA
through contributions known as
Section 106 monies. When new
developments happen, those
responsible are usually asked to
pay a contribution towards the
funding of associated infrastructure
commonly known as Section 106
agreements.
The refurbishments at Drapers
Field are a vast improvement on the
sites old facilities, both in quality
and quantity. The facilities and
layout of the new-look Drapers Field
were also agreed with local people.
In March and June 2011
residents were given a chance to
have their say and to inuence the
look and feel of the green space.
The designs to come from these
events struck a balance of formal
and informal sport; as well as play,
recreation and community facilities,
based on what people had said.
Some of the elements of the
scheme also relate to the Councils
broader Open Spaces Strategy. This
identied that in this part of Leyton
there is a lack of play and local open
space. The reinstatement of the
all-weather pitch is also a response
to many of the comments picked
up in the consultations and by Sport
England, who noted that there were
simply not enough of these sorts of
facilities in this part of the borough.
As well as the improvements
to Drapers Field other areas to
have beneted from Olympic and
Paralympic Games Legacy initiatives
include Leyton Jubilee Park, the
tennis courts and pavilion at Abbotts
Park, and the provision of a Multi-
Use Games Area (MUGA) at Church
Lane, Leytonstone.

Waltham Forest Council is committed to
cleaning up the borough and wiping out
enviro-crime. We will be taking tough
action against those people who continue
to blight our borough, and will name and
shame the people we catch.
Dumping waste in the street is just
one of the areas the Council looks to
address and last month an individual felt
the full force of the law when Council
ofcers discovered waste dumped on the
highway.
Naveed Fayaz of Clifton Avenue,
Walthamstow was prosecuted for a Duty
of Care offence after allowing waste from
his garage business to be dumped in
Folly Lane, Higham Hill.
The matter was put before Thames
Magistrates Court on Tuesday 10 June
and a ne of 300 was handed down
with the defendant also ordered to pay
costs of 300.
In June there were also 134 Fixed Penalty
Notices (FPNs) issued in Waltham Forest,
21 of which were for littering offences
which included seven for urinating in the
street.
In Waltham Forest we have outlawed
spitting and urination by specically
making them offences we tackle via our
littering powers, said Cllr Clyde Loakes,
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for
Environment.
Its been 18 months since we brought
these offences under the umbrella of
enviro-crimes that we pursue people
for and hand out FPNs. The message
is simple dont mess with Waltham
Forest.
It should go without saying that spitting
or urinating in the street is simply
unacceptable. The difference is in this

n Extra funding secured for additional road repairs
n Pothole money will help repair the damage done by bad weather
On the road to recovery
While last winter was fairly mild,
recent harsh winters have taken
their toll on the boroughs roads.
But fortunately in Waltham
Forest work petitioning for funds
to address the issue has paid off.
Two signicant windfalls will help
fund major resurfacing and pothole
repairs. The Council successfully
applied to the Department for
Transport (DfT) for the money from
a pot known as Funding for Winter
Damage.
This is funding above the usual
amounts of money available to
councils for road maintenance
schemes. It is specically set aside
to deal with the consequences of
exceptional winter weather damage.
The Councils Highways
department will spend the money
on three different schemes in the

Filthy
business
A food business located in an industrial
unit in Roxwell Business Park, Argall
Avenue, Leyton was shut on Wednesday
25 June by Waltham Forest Councils
Environmental Health Team. The closure
was ordered after an inspection revealed
cooked catsh and prawns being stored at
inappropriate temperatures. The inspector
described the place as absolutely lthy
and squalid, after discovering a makeshift
kitchen with ovens resting on wooden
pallets and that had no preparation
surfaces or fridge. Some of the cooked
prawns were mouldy and there was also
an infestation of ies at the premises.

In brief
borough. A total of 80,000 will be
spent on Argall Avenue in Leyton,
150,000 will be spent on Whipps
Cross Road in Leytonstone and
110,000 will be spent on Billet
Road in Walthamstow.
In addition to this, further funding
is coming to Waltham Forest from a
pot known as The Pothole Fund.
A grant of 249,721 will help reduce
the number of potholes affecting
local roads and a programme of
work including pothole repairs and
preventative maintenance is being
prepared for the 2014/15 nancial
year.
Cllr Clyde Loakes, Deputy
Leader and Cabinet Member for
Environment, said: This is great
news for the residents and Im glad
that the government awarded us
this extra funding. At a time when
our budgets are being squeezed
more than ever, we have really
punched above our weight to
secure this money and come
out a lot better than many of our
neighbouring boroughs.
This funding will allow us to
The newly-resurfaced Billet Road, Walthamstow
really get to grips with potholes
and other defects on our highways,
supplementing our existing
programme of road maintenance
and allowing us to make the streets
safer, more pleasant to use and
more visually pleasing.

Shoppers love North Chingford
n New market proves a huge success with local shoppers
n Love North Chingford champions independent businesses
Thousands of local people
enjoyed the sights, sounds
and smells of a brand new
street market in Chingford on
Saturday 28 June.
Thirty stalls were set up along
the length of Station Road,
offering shoppers everything
from handcrafted gifts and home
furnishings to tasty street food,
footwear and clothing. Local
wedding photographer Tony
Cullinane was also on hand to take
photos of the markets maiden
outing.
The new monthly market is
organised by a not-for-prot group
called Love North Chingford,
which has brought together local
business owners. The group
was set up to champion the
independently owned businesses
found along Station Road and
encourage more residents to shop
locally.
As well as the market, Chingford
was also bustling with people
attending the ever-popular
Chingford Festival a community
event organised by local resident
Irene Bull which took place
on the same day on The Green,
Chingford.
Katie Spanjar, Joint Secretary of
Love North Chingford and owner
of Bar One Twenty, told Waltham
Forest News: We were absolutely
delighted with how successful the
rst market proved to be.
We held it in conjunction
with the Chingford Festival and
it proved to be a brilliant day,
with lots of people out enjoying
themselves and seeing all that the
local area has to offer.
At rst people assumed that
the market was part of the festival,
but by the end of the day we had
spread the word that the market
would be coming to Chingford
each month. I think people are
already looking forward to the
idea of it happening regularly, and
residents were even suggesting
what kind of stalls theyd like to
see in future.
Love North Chingford started
as a shopkeepers alliance, with
business owners and shopkeepers
sharing ideas about how they
could increase trade.
Around a quarter of the
businesses along Station Road are
now on board, and pay an annual
fee to cover the cost of equipment,
advertising and printing. As the
organisation is not-for-prot, each
member gets to have their say.
Love North Chingford Market will
take place on the fourth Saturday
of every month until the end of the
year. The nal market of 2014 will
be a special Christmas market,
set to take place on Saturday 20
December.
The market is being organised
by local resident Roger Salmons,
who successfully ran Broadway
Market in Hackney for many years.
Katie Spanjar said: It is
absolutely brilliant that weve got
someone with Rogers experience
on board, as it sped up the
process. Without his expertise it
would have taken us a lot longer to
get the market up and running.
Everything ran really smoothly
and response from visitors was
absolutely brilliant, and beyond our
expectations. Several of the street
food vendors completely sold out
of stock, as well as a stall which
was selling sandals.
The organisers are keen to hear
from other local people who might
be interested in setting up their
own stall on the monthly market.
However, they are not looking
for extra food stalls as that is
something that is already well-
represented among the existing
group.
Katie explained: I know that the
borough is full of talented people,
for example those who craft and
make fabulous, original gifts and
items for the home. If anyone has
been thinking about turning a
hobby into a business this could
be the perfect opportunity to turn
a dream into a reality.
There are many local people
who could run a stall, and were
really keen to hear ideas for new
stalls at future markets.

Ms Blake, Class Teacher
Every child deserves a positive start in life. My
job as a teacher is to prepare children to leave
primary school with greater independence,
knowledge and skills.
I have a passion to motivate, inspire and support
every child I teach to reach their potential. School
is like home from home where a supportive
atmosphere has been created by the children,
parents and staff.
Education continues to be a
top priority in Waltham Forest.
We expect that over 90 per
cent of our schools will be
rated Good or Outstanding
by Ofsted by the summer of
2015 and that standards will
continue to rise in all schools.
Over the last few months we
have been celebrating the
achievements of our young
people and our schools. Now
we have turned the focus to
the great teachers who have
inspired, supported and
motivated our children to aim
high and reach their goals.

Keeping Safe
Challenging
the national
issue of FGM
n Waltham Forest resident speaks out against FGM
injustices
n New organisation aims to end violence against
women and girls in Waltham Forest
Local resident, Hibo Wardere,
is championing the rights of
young girls and breaking the
taboo over the national and
international issue of female
genital mutilation (FGM).
The 45-year old teaching
assistant, who works at a local
primary school is spearheading
a local campaign to speak out
against FGM and challenge the
governments child protection
policy to protect those girls who
may be affected by it, in primary
and secondary schools.
Already, it seems that her strong
message has reached residents
and is also resonating on a wider
scale. Hibo, who is originally from
Somalia, has been invited by
the Department for International
Development to meet 2,000 other
dignitaries from around the world
on Tuesday 22 July at the rst
ever Girls Summit in London. The
summit will look at the topics of
FGM and forced marriage. Prime
Minister, David Cameron, will also
be attending.
Having lived in Waltham Forest
since 1989 with her husband
and children, Hibo was the victim
of FGM at the age of seven and
sometimes she still has ashbacks
to that awful time.
Hibo said: Talking about FGM
and putting it on the national
agenda is not attacking a
community, its actually protecting
the child. I would love to go to
every school in Waltham Forest
and talk about FGM to the girls.
Its very relevant because if its

Cllr Clare Coghill and Hibo both spoke at a Waltham Forest Rising event
recently held in the Council Chamber at Waltham Forest Town Hall
happened to a girl or her friends,
she would need access to the right
help and support.
There are complex cultural and
social reasons why FGM happens
and it can lead to serious health
complications for the individuals
involved. Although the practice
is illegal in the UK and can carry
a custodial sentence of up to 14
years in prison, it is still practised
in around 28 countries around the
world. There are 22,000 reported
cases in London alone and 66,000
in the UK.
Last year, Hibo was invited to
talk to more than 100 teachers,
teaching assistants and other staff
at Davies Lane Primary School,
Leytonstone, about the subject of
FGM.
She was also invited by Cllr
Coghill, former Cabinet Member for
Children and Young People, and
now Cabinet Member for Economic
Growth and High Streets, to speak
at a recent event held at Waltham
Forest Town Hall. Hibo spoke to
residents and Council staff about
her experiences.
Earlier this year, the organisation
Waltham Forest Rising was set up
by Cllr Coghill to raise awareness
of violence against women and
girls, including FGM, and to help
support those people affected by
these issues.
Despite the serious subject
matter, Hibos lively personality
shines through. She added: In
this borough, people are willing to
listen to you and Waltham Forest is
enriched with people from diverse
backgrounds, who say hello all the
time. However, Id like to get other
boroughs involved too.
Hibos inspiration is the actress
Angelina Jolie and she is motivated
by her humanitarian work to end
war zone sexual violence.
She said: Angelina is a
great actress and campaigner
and she has really opened up
these important issues. If I ever
meet her, Id say thanks for her
inspiration and ask if I can also
meet her husband to get a signed
autograph!
Recently, Hibo has also worked
closely with other advocates of
FGM awareness, such as Alimatu
Dimonkene, FGM Prevention
Caseworker and Trainer for
Newham One Stop Shop and
documentary maker Leyla Hussein,
who runs Daughters of Eve an
organisation set up to protect girls
and young women who are at risk
of FGM.
There are complex cultural and social
reasons why FGM happens, and it can lead
to serious health complications for the
individuals involved.

and a smaller container for everything else.
Dont forget to
add compostable
caddy liners to
your shopping
list
The less food we waste, the better. But there are
always going to be food items that well never
eat, like egg shells, fruit and vegetable peelings,
banana skins and tea bags. Use your kitchen
caddy to collect these, then empty this into
your larger brown bin.
