A different Alfred Hitchcock film will be screened each night, and visitors can enjoy tasty cinema-style treats. The group is looking for short films to show before each evening’s main event. So if you have produced a short film on a local theme, or anything ‘hitchcock-esque’ why not get in touch? Your film could be shown to over 900 people each evening! The group is also keen to hear from local people who would be able to volunteer a few hours of their time to help out during the festival. Volunteers can enjoy free entry to an event of their choice, and even bag a free t-shirt.

Action Days are taking place throughout the borough this year CLEAN GREEN SAFE LOVED www.walthamforest.gov.uk/mystreet MAKING SURE YOUR STREET IS CLEAN GREEN SAFE LOVED BIN YOUR DOG MESS While the vast majority of dog owners tidy up after their pooch, we want to remind the few who don’t that they can dispose of their dog’s mess in any of the borough’s 800 bins. All they need to do is bag it and bin it. The Council spends a massive £7million on cleaning the borough’s streets and parks each year and we want to make sure that our residents play their part by encouraging pet owners to clean up after their dogs.
Not only is cleaning up after your dog the right thing to do but it’s actually against the law not to get rid of your dog’s mess. Dog fouling is an offence that could see the culprit face an £80 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) and failure to pay the fine within 14 days could result in a £1,000 fine.
Dog walker, Lauren Zeraschi, said: “No one likes to see dog mess on the street or in the park, it’s just not nice. I always make sure I carry bags to clean up after the dogs I walk and there is always a bin nearby so that I can throw it away.
“I love living here but unfortunately there’s a minority that spoil it for the rest of us. Tidying up after your dog is easy and you shouldn’t expect others to do it for you. If we all did our bit, our borough would be an even nicer place to live.” LARGE ITEM COLLECTIONS It’s never been easier to get rid of your unwanted sofa, wardrobe or Unwanted items that are still in good condition can be donated so that bookcase. You can now book a free large collection online through they can be used again. The Restore Community Project will collect items the Council website, and you can arrange for up to five items to be that are suitable for reuse. You can book a collection collected each time meaning there is no reason to fly-tip. www.restorecommunityprojects.org or telephone 020 8493 0900 for more details. It’s now quick and easy to book, just visit www.walthamforest.gov.uk/ largeitemcollection and follow the instructions. There’s also a list of large items that can be collected which includes the kitchen sink!
And we have also launched a premium large item collection service, which is perfect for landlords, businesses or trades people who are not eligible for the free collections. Residents can also make use of this paid-for service, which allows for up to 20 items at a time.
Tomasz from Leyton said: “I have used the Council’s free large item collection many times and I’m very happy that the Council offers it to get rid of things I don’t need anymore. I find it bizarre that people put large items like mattresses on the corner of their street when the Council offers a service. I think it’s very important that serious action is taken against those who fly-tip.” MAKING SURE YOUR STREET IS CLEAN GREEN SAFE LOVED
