Emma Aitken National Campaigns Manager at Canal & River Trust andWalthamstow residentIn my opinion

With spring nally upon us andhundreds of new ducklingshatching in parks and reservoirs

across the borough; it’s a goodtime to remind people of theperils of feeding ducks bread.

Last year I launched a campaignwith the charity Canal & River

Trust, calling on people to leave thebread at home and instead swapto healthier treats such as seeds,lettuce and peas; which are morelike a duck’s natural diet.

The campaign received anoverwhelming response, with newdata showing a 20 per cent drop inthe number of people feeding ducksbread – over 80,000 fewer loavesnationwide. The numbers of people

feeding ducks healthier snacks suchas seeds, fruit and vegetables hasdoubled.

However, despite the positivechanges over the last 12 months,there’s still work to be done. Eachyear around 3.5million loaves ofbread are still thrown into ponds andmoats, such as those in Lloyd Parkin Walthamstow, potentially pollutingthe environment.

Uneaten soggy bread can causea build-up of bad nutrients in thewater, which can lead to greateralgae growth, spread disease andencourage pests such as rats.

There’s also a risk that ducksand other waterfowl could get anillness known as angel wing, which

is caused by not getting the rightnutrients in their diet. The illnesscauses a deformity in birds’ wings

that affects the way they y or evenstops them ying completely, whichcan be fatal.

Throwing bread into anyinland waterway can also createovercrowding of bird populations,as the birds will ock to the samelocation in search of their starchytreat. Too many ducks or waterfowlin one place can also stress thebirds and lead to their habitats beingdamaged. It also creates excessiveamounts of bird droppings which,along with being smelly and slipperyunderfoot, can reduce water qualityand clog waterways with harmful

algae.Please don’t take it as us wanting

to discourage people from enjoying

the family tradition of feeding ourfeathered friends. We’re just askingpeople to do so sensibly.

Consider swapping bread forleftover lettuce or cut up veg fromthe Sunday roast. Or things you cannd in the kitchen cupboard, suchas uncooked porridge oats, corn orpeas. We even tried leftover kale andpea shoots recently and they loved

it! But also remember to eportion control and don’t othem.

The charity is giving awbooklet packed with tips oright food to feed the duckincludes lots of activities f

Lloyd Park Moat

Regular visitors to Lloyd ParkForest Road, E17 4PP) will haveoticed that the moat has beeniven a thorough clean-up, justn time for spring. The moat, a popular area with

ocal residents and home to variouspecies of wildlife including ducksnd geese, was fully drained tollow the two-week clean-up

operation to take place. The water quality in the moat

needed to be improved to stopalgae ourishing. The poor waterquality was partly due to all theuneaten bread, that had beenused to feed the ducks and geese,sinking to the bottom of the moat.

As well as affecting water quality,bread can also be bad for the

health of ducks and geese, andeating too much can cause themto develop a condition called ‘angelwing’. This is where the last joint ofthe wing becomes twisted, with thefeathers pointing outwards insteadof lying against the body.

While the moat was drainedwork took place to remove sludgeand other waste from the bottom,

The Moat in Lloyd Park has been cleared and relled with clean water

There’s still time for art lovers toelp crowdfund a major new artnstallation at Waltham Forest’s

William Morris Gallery. The Gallery (Forest Road, E17PP) is home to the world’s largestollection of Morris’s work. It is

working with leading ceramicistClare Twomey to develop aroject that – if successful – willee its special exhibition spaceransformed into a performativeeramics studio this summer. Twomey will produce a vast tileanel, embellished with one of

Morris’s most intricate designs.

Over 67 days, 67 members of the

public will undertake the role of‘apprentice’, working alongside

Twomey’s master painter to helpcreate the panel.

Through the intensive processof watching, mirroring and learning– which would have been familiarto Morris’s own apprentices – thework will explore how practising askill can connect us through timeand space to other people.

To run the project the Gallery,which is owned and run byWaltham Forest Council, needsto raise £10,000 through the ArtFund’s Art Happens site, the UK’s

only crowdfunding platform for the

museum sector. The appeal, which runs until

Thursday 21 April, offers exclusiverewards to donors for as little as£5, including postcard packs,tote bags and exclusive artworksdesigned by Twomey.

Clare Twomey said: “To createthis living work will be to observe,recount and to pass on skills asan act of ritual that will deepenour understanding of how Morrisachieved and lived out hisphilosophical dreams.”

Stephen Deuchar, director of the Art Fund, said: “The much-loved

William Morris Gallery was our

Museum of the Year 2013 and weare so pleased that they are nowusing our successful crowdfundingplatform for their project with Clare

Twomey. I urge people to dig deep,get hold of a special reward, andhelp bring this wonderful project tofruition.”

which should help keep the watercleaner for longer. The moat hasbeen relled with fresh water, andsome water lilies have been addedto make the area look even moreappealing and help keep the water

clean. The Council took specialcare to protect all wildlife that livesin and around the moat while thework took place.

The Council thanks residentsand visitors for their patience andunderstanding while the clean-upwas taking place.

Visitors to the park are remindedthat they should not feed the ducksand geese with bread, as this is like

junk food to them and can be verybad for their health.

You should instead feed theducks with food that resemblestheir natural diet. Uncooked oats,rice, seeds and green vegetablessuch as lettuce and kale are allgood choices. The café in LloydPark also sells special duck foodpellets so you can pick up a packwhen you visit, but remember toexercise moderation in the amountyou feed the ducks and geese.

Making sure the borough is keptclean and tidy is a key priorityfor the Council, and we know itis an issue which is close to thehearts of many of our residents.

Last year the Council launchedits new Neighbourhoods team,which has been working closelywith local communities to keepour streets clean, safe and green,as well as cracking down on y-tippers, taking rogue traders totask and making sure that as muchwaste gets recycled as possible.Read on to nd out more about the

work the Council is doing to keepyour streets clean, green, safe andloved, and how you can make sureyou are doing your bit too.

Recycling moreDid you know that up to 70

per cent of all household wastecan be recycled? The Councilis encouraging all residents torecycle as much as they can,and to use their green bin as theirmain bin. General waste collectedin black bins is sent to landll,which is costly and harmful to

the environment, so think aboutwhether it could be recycled beforeyou throw anything away.

Items like plastics, tin cans,glass, paper and plastic bags can

all go in your green recycling bin,instead of your black bin. There arealso lots of smaller things that canbe recycled too, such as aerosol

cans, foil trays, metal lids, yoghurtpots and even toilet roll tubes.

These things may seem small butthey can all add up to make a bigdifference.

Similarly, all of your food andgarden waste should go in yourbrown bin, and not in your blackbin. Food items like egg shells,fruit and veg peelings and bananaskins naturally go straight intoyour kitchen caddy, but try andget into the habit of putting platescrapings in after every meal, andplace tea bags and coffee grounds

in every time you make a drink.Please make sure that you donot put soil in your brown bin, asit contaminates it and means theCouncil cannot recycle its contents.

Cracking down onenviro-crime

The Council is continuing tocome down hard on enviro-

crime and takes a zero-toleranceapproach to anyone who blightsthe borough by y-tipping. Lastyear a man was landed with a six-week suspended prison sentenceand had his vehicle crushed afterthe Council prosecuted him fordumping building materials inWalthamstow. Anyone convicted ofy-tipping could face an unlimitedne or a prison sentence of upto ve years. Even small scaleoffenders can be ned up to£1,000 and have their vehiclesseized and possibly crushed.

last month which saw 50 waste collected and 2,000plants planted.

There are, however, a sminority of people who rothers by not respecting tenvironment and we needso they can be caught andto task.

Please contact the Cousee any enviro-crimes takso we can take necessaryand prevent it from happefuture.

In November last year theCouncil launched a new trialscheme with service provider NSLto supplement the Neighbourhoodsteam with enforcement ofcerstargeting key enviro-crimehotspots. The NSL ofcers handout warnings and xed penaltynotices (FPNs) for illegal activitiessuch as littering (including throwingcigarette butts on the ground), dogfouling, spitting and urinating inpublic.

The Council issued over 800FPNs for enviro-crimes last year

and will seek prosecution forserious offences. In the last twomonths three businesses havebeen successfully prosecuted forfailing in their Duty of Care aroundtheir handling of commercial waste.

These cases resulted in nes andcosts of almost £4,000.

What you say Residents tell Waltham Forest News what they think about the Council’s efforts to supportand encourage recycling

Mandy Fennel, Chingford

“I’m unsure sometimes whatgoes in what bin. I probablychuck things away that couldbe recycled. I think if we hadmore messages like leaetsthrough the door explainingwhat you can and can’t recyclethat would be handy.”

Navinduth Ramchurn, Chingford

“It’s good if the Council is tryingto encourage more recyclingas it’s important to protect theenvironment. I would like to seethe Council help people recycleby letting them know exactlywhat they are able to.”

Maria Block, Chingford

“Sometimes I forget, butgenerally I do use the foodwaste and garden waste bins.

The only thing with the foodwaste is you don’t get any bagswith it so it would be good if theCouncil could look at providingsome.”

Graham Tyrrell, Chingford

“I have seen a couple of peopdown the road getting stickerput on their bins saying theyhave non recyclables in thereand they won’t get taken. Bumost people I think know whthey can and cannot recycle.”

Caterers rapped overpoor hygiene condition

A catering business in

Leyton was forced to stoptrading immediately after aCouncil investigation foundthey were preparing food inlthy conditions and near aninfestation of mice.

The Council acted quickly afterreceiving details last month of anunregistered food business thatmay have been preparing food inunhygienic conditions. A fullinspection was carried out by ateam of ofcers at Crown Kitchen,located at Leyton Business Park.

The inspection at the premises,which was set up to cater for largescale events, found very poorstandards of hygiene in areaswhere food was being prepared.

This included inadequate cleaningroutines, a lack of sufcient hotwater, and evidence of a signicantmouse infestation.

Given the serious nature oftheir ndings the Council servedthe business with a HygieneEmergency Prohibition Noticeand closed the premises withimmediate effect. They had beendue to cater for events beingattended by around 1,500 peopleover the Easter Bank Holiday

weekend, but the Council’s

intervention ensured there was norisk to public health. The matter was then taken

to Stratford Magistrates’ Courtwithin 48 hours, where a HygieneEmergency Prohibition Orderwas granted, which required thebusiness to remain closed until aCouncil inspector was satisedthat the necessary action hadbeen taken to address the hygieneissues.

The business has now beenallowed to start trading again, aftera follow-up inspection found thatthe required improvement and pestcontrol works had taken place. TheCouncil will continue to monitor thesituation closely.

Any business that stores,prepares, distributes or sells foodand drink needs to be registeredwith the Council. This includesanyone starting a new food businessor taking over an existing business.Certain food manufacturers will needto be approved before they canbegin operating – for further advice,please contact the Council’s FoodSafety team.

The Council carries out aprogramme of regular food

safety inspections at businesses

across the borough and will takeenforcement action against anyonefound to be putting the health oftheir customers at risk.

You can check whether a foodbusiness has a hygiene ratingby visiting the Food Standards

Agency’s website, or by checkingto see if they are displaying a foodhygiene rating sticker on theirpremises. They are not required todisplay this by law, but businessesthat have achieved good scores

will have them proudly o

you have any concerns abhygiene standards at any in Waltham Forest you caon the Council website.

In brief

Akram; also of Church Lane, E111HG, produced an invoice from thecompany the alcohol was purchasedfrom, and admitted that he hadn’tcarried out any background checkon them beforehand.

Trading Standards were unableto make contact with the company.

Their invoice for the alcohol alsocontained some alarming mistakesincluding incorrect spellings andnamed a brand of Jacobs Creekwine that did not exist.

The alcohol licence for SFWExpress was revoked in June 2014,and the owners failed to have this

decision overturned at an appealhearing in January 2015. The Council proceeded to

prosecute SFW Express andMohammed Kassim Akram. Bothinitially pleaded not guilty to offencesunder the Trade Marks Act 1994 andConsumer Protection from Unfair

Trading Regulations 2008.However on 7 March 2016, the

rst day of the trial, the pleas werechanged to guilty, and the case wasadjourned for sentencing on 8 April

Counterfeit alcohol can pose aserious risk to consumers’ health

2016 at Snaresbrook Crown Court.In sentencing the Judge said that

counterfeit alcohol poses a seriousrisk to consumers if it is ingested andthat SFW Express did not have anyprocedures in place to prevent thealcohol from being purchased.

Mohammed Kassim Akramwas given a nine month custodialsentence, suspended for 18 months.

The sentence is conditional on nofurther offences being committedand 150 hours of unpaid work beingcarried out. He was also ordered topay costs of £9,000. SFW Expresswas ned £1,000 and ordered to pay

costs of £3,000. The sale of counterfeit alcohol isa serious offence and the contentscan be extremely dangerous. Illicitalcohol is often smuggled into thecountry illegally, and can be linkedwith serious organised crime.

home to adults with learning andphysical disabilitiesn Council calls on residents to

help care for someone throughthe service

Could you give an adult with support needs a loving family home?

Could you help improve thelife of an adult with learningdisabilities by welcoming theminto your home and invitingthem to be part of your family?

It’s by no means a small ask, butfamilies across Waltham Forest arealready discovering how rewarding

it is to help change someone’s lifefor the better through the Council’sShared Lives service.

You can be a Shared Lives careralongside having a day job, and youcould receive a fee of up to £430 aweek to look after someone.

The service enables peoplewith learning disabilities whoneed respite, short or long termaccommodation, to live in a lovinghousehold – meeting family, friendsand neighbours, and joining in

normal daily activities. At the sametime, it provides them with stabilityand support, allowing them todevelop their skills, friendships andinterests, and start to gain greaterindependence. The service willsoon be expanded to offer care topeople with physical disabilities,

dementia and those who need helpwith personal care. Thirty-three-year-old Jennifer

Chowdhury was living in a hostelbefore her social worker introducedher to Shared Lives, and she hasnot looked back. She’s been livingwith a Waltham Forest family since2013 – crediting them as havinghelped build her condence, andgenerally improve her health andwellbeing and quality of life.

Jennifer told Waltham Forest

News: “They are very loving, kindand caring. I feel they are here forme whenever I need advice, helpand support.

“I like living with a family becauseI like the company and there isalways someone to talk to. I amhappier in myself having that feelingof belonging to a family and feelingat home.

“With support I have been able tomake savings and I have been onholiday with my parent, carers andon an independent holiday. I haveplans to go on holiday this year. Iam given the opportunity to makemy own choices regarding my life

decisions.“Shared Lives is good and Irecommend it to anyone who islooking for accommodation andsupport to live with a family. Afamily welcomed me into theirhome and I am now part of thefamily – plus the ongoing supportis always there from the carers andthe scheme.”

Waltham Forest Council is callingon kind-hearted residents whothink they could help someone like

Jennifer to get in touch with theShared Lives team.Whether you’re able to offer long-

term accommodation or short-termcare and support to someone, youwill receive a professional fee alongwith other rewards for your efforts.Shared Lives carers are carefullymatched with a service user, andasked to help them with daily tasksand challenges, such as personalcare, emotional support, nancialmanagement, medical needs andcooking and cleaning.

Hibo told Waltham Forest News:“Knowledge is the best way to

eradicate FGM, and I am incrediblyproud of the work we’re doing inWaltham Forest to educate people– regardless of age or gender.

“Spreading the word and helping

others has been something of ahealing process for me. For manyyears I lived with the frustration ofnot being able to communicatethe pain, the danger and the pureevil of FGM – but once I openedup about my experience to others,it became clear that confrontingit and talking about it had thepotential to do a lot of good.”

Hibo praised the fact thatmore and more public sectororganisations and educationalfacilities across the UK wereacknowledging FGM and takingsteps to help combat it and offer
