In this news letter we are asking for Parkers support to keep Our Parks FREE throughout the winter. The programme is due to finish in Hackney, East Village and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in October.  Our Parks needs your help by petitioning to keep Our Parks turning up and toning up Parkers for FREE!

Goods news for Waltham Forest Parkers, the Programme will continue until March and the winter programme, to be announced soon, will start on October 13th.
