Save Orient Way Pocket Park
We, the Lea Bridge Community and Friends of Orient Way Pocket, call on you, Waltham Forest Council, to stop your plans to destroy Orient Way Pocket Park. This 20 year old, maturing woodland helps to protect the Lea Bridge Community from pollution and toxic fumes caused by heavy industrial traffic on Lea Bridge Road and Orient Way. Orient Way Pocket Park is more than just 90 trees; it's an ecosystem maintained by many plant and animal species; it's creating the oxygen that we breathe; it's helping to ensure a sustainable planet for future generations and it's where the birds sing.
Why is this important?
In the midst of the Climate Emergency, the struggle to mitigate the Covid 19 legacy and the impending Lea Bridge Gas Works scheme, we all , humans and wildlife, need this calm, green oasis more than ever.
