Thousands of people joined the amazing shows at HOWZAT FOR Welcome to the Forest – Photo credit Andrew Baker SOME GOOD NEWS! Waltham Forest Council is joining forces with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to transform Leyton Cricket Ground into a world-class cricket hub which will play host to professional matches as well as provide local residents with even more opportunity to get involved with sport. The Leyton County Ground Main Sports Hall will be fully refurbished in time for this summer’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, which will allow the ECB to capitalise on the tournament and promote the new centre while interest in cricket is at a peak, especially - but not exclusively - among South Asian women. The project forms part of the ECB’s South Asian Action Plan, which aims to better engage with South Asian communities at every level of the game including the grassroots. Research shows that between 24 and 28 per cent of the local population who live within a 30 minute walk or drive of the site have South Asian heritage. The project will be funded with an investment of £450,000 from the ECB, to be matched by the council. Bruce Cruse, ECB Head of Participation, said: “The new Urban Cricket Centre at Leyton will empower local communities to have the opportunity to play the game in a way and at times that suits them. “Our South Asian Action Plan includes a commitment to providing access to cricketing facilities in inner-city areas across the country and projects like this are a key part of our plans to grow the game, get a bat and ball in more hands and ensure that cricket is a sport that is accessible for everyone.” Welcome to the Forest Event See Page 4 Continues on page 3 2 News Ruby’s Grill in Leyton, closed for kitchen pest infestation
