In other news The Happy Man Tree was voted Tree of the Year, but will still be knocked down.
Glad to hear that at least - I voted for it
I did read they had lost the appeal for the tree to be saved though

Was just looking at the updated Covid stuff. Am I imagining it or were there not three wards before? Now there are four and think SH North and S Tottenham are even worse than before. (The other two are SH South and West.)
ETA ST +15.9% and SH North +21.8% in the last seven days. Fuck.

You're not imagining it.
Two weeks ago there were two, SH north and south Tottenham.
A week ago there were 3, those two and SH south.
This week they're joined by SH west.
From what I can see, this looks like the biggest concentration in the whole of London.
Has anyone on here living in those areas had any additional info/advice about this? It's very strange this doesn't really seem to be being mentioned locally*, given that's quite a big area/a lot of people.
*In my bit of Hackney anyway.
No where I am is way lower which is why I was wondering about info for those who live there. Don't remember there being anything recent in the local press, for example.
(I was talking to a friend yesterday who lives near the border with SH South and who had no idea how bad things were there. Noticed the changes when i was looking for the link to send him.)

seems the concerns are around blocking access to a play area which seems fair enough.

Ahhhh ...that's solved a mystery, I walked at the back of those flats a couple of days ago, coming through from Allen's Gardens.
I noticed that some steel fencing was in the process up being put up and wondered why - it looked very strange, it was quite high and there were gates and walkways.

Once upon a time in Hackney: 80s photos of poverty, protest – and partying
In the 80s, a group of residents were given cameras to document the London borough. Now, their work has come to light showing the passionate spirit of a lost era

I never got that issue, with or without a print.
Yeah, I though that was weird. A pile arrived in our communal hall (first time in ages) and I put them in the recycling after they'd been kicking about for a while. Who knew they were a gift to Hackney residents?

Thanks blossie33 - interesting seeing some reasons for the other proposed sites being discounted.
The testing centre blocks one of my morning walk routes and it is depressing seeing it all. That estate looks to have a pretty great community spirit too - lots of barbecues and parties in the summer.

I know it's not Hackney but...
Wandered across Walthamstow Wetlands this afternoon. Never been there before -- generally walk up the other side, along the Lee Navigation. Thought it was great and really like that they've separated walkers out from cyclists etc as means you don't have to constantly pay attention. Wasn't completely sure where I was going but I quite like wandering randomly as reckon I'll generally end up somewhere I recognise. And sure enough, next thing I was at Springfield Marina. Must go back and have another look and maybe go across Walthamstow Marshes.

I walked up and across Clapton Common (stopping for a look at the outside of the Victorian Sex Cult Church as is my wont), through Markfield Park, across the bridge at Tottenham Hale, then through the Wetlands and home via Springfield Park. Must check out Walthamstow and Leyton Marshes now.
Going for a walk with a friend tomorrow but think dogs aren't allowed up that way so will probably do Hackney Marshes.
I really want to look inside but it's always locked (even before Covid). And I don't think I could get away with pretending to be Georgian Orthodox.

What Victorian Sex Cult Church is this then?
