It’s D-Day in Walthamstow (not)
In 1996 a footpath was due to be built linking Walthamstow Central station with nearby Queens Road station. This was a condition of allowing the redevelopment of the site for housing. The developers built the housing then reneged on the footpath deal.
And now, sixteen years later, work is finally about to begin.
D-day is the 25th of June!! Should I hold my breath?
Definitely not, where this crap council is concerned. Because there is not the slightest sign of work having started on this link, which remains arbitrarily blocked off by fencing, flytipped crap, and a jungle of overgrown vegetation.

Dead end.
