Green Waltham Forest

Local action, working together

Real change happens when residents, growers, local groups and the people who represent us pull in the same direction. I’m proud to support green initiatives and community projects across the borough — always community-led and independent.

Help for residents

Better choices for your home

The same thinking that makes an allotment work — waste less, use what you have, share what you learn — works brilliantly at home too.

  1. 01

    Draught-proof first

    Seal gaps around doors, windows and letterboxes — one of the cheapest ways to keep heat in.

  2. 02

    Understand your usage

    A smart meter shows what you use in real time, making it easier to spot waste.

  3. 03

    Switch to LEDs

    LED bulbs use a fraction of the energy of old bulbs and last for years.

  4. 04

    Reduce, reuse, compost

    Less waste means lower costs — and compost for local growers.

  5. 05

    Save water

    Shorter showers and a water butt for the garden save water and energy.

  6. 06

    Check local support

    Ask about local and national schemes that can help with insulation and heating costs.
