Earlier this year, the Council alone was successful in securing £17.2 m of Levelling Up Funding that will be used to deliver projects that unlock Walthamstow’s potential as an inclusive, safe, and welcoming cultural destination. The intention is that the investment will increase footfall in the Town Centre throughout the day and evening, widen cultural participation, generate opportunities for creative enterprise and create pathways into employment and training for residents.
The government funding will be used to deliver phased enhancements to public spaces in Hoe Street, St James Quarter and High Street,introducing new lighting, improved surfacing, signage, additional planting, and opportunities for public art.
The improvements to public spaces will be delivered alongside investment in Council-owned heritage buildings across the Town Centre, designed to preserve and enhance their historic character and make them more accessible to the community. The Council will invest in:
Chestnuts House to create a centre for innovation and creative enterprise;
Hatherley Mews to support workspace, food/drink, and hospitality businesses, creating a destination around Soho Theatre Walthamstow;
Vestry House Museum as a place that celebrates Waltham Forest’s culture and community, widening participation in cultural and creative activities.
The investment forms part of the Council’s work with residents, businesses, and stakeholders to develop Walthamstow’s cultural offer as a legacy from Waltham Forest being London’s first Borough of Culture in 2019 and build on extensive engagement conducted throughout the years, including findings from our research on Creativity and Culture in Walthamstow
