Arcade Site – Have your say

8 years on and the former arcade site has been converted into… some tarmac.

The council do however want to know what residents would like to see in the new temporary space.

Local campaigners Fight The Height have suggested a more creative way for residents to express their views – Here’s what they have to say:

What would YOU like to see on the Arcade site in central Walthamstow?

We’re asking residents, artists, schoolchildren and architects to send us a postcard with their dreams, visions and ideas for the site, on the corner of High Street and Hoe Street.

Thousands of postcards are being distributed. Grab one at a pub, shop or community centre near you and jot down your ideas. Alternatively, click on the links below to download the postcard, download a bigger picture to work on (entries can be in any form, not just postcards), or download a brief for schools or architects.

You can pick up a postcard from venues including: Ye Olde Rose & Crown Theatre Pub, Waterstones, The Mall information point, Co-operative Bank, Daisy’s, Penny Fielding’s Beautiful Interiors.

Or email your details to mail@fighttheheight.co.uk and we can send you a postcard.

We’ll be exhibiting entries over the coming months. Our first two exhibitions will be at the Changing Room Gallery, Lloyd Park (31 August – 6 September), and as part of the E17 Art Trail at the Rose & Crown pub on Hoe Street (5-13 September). Details of more exhibitions to come.
