Call to rethink over-urbanisation
Les Kaye, Ilford, full address supplied, writes:
I see that work is now beginning on the old Alfred’s Head pub site in Manford Way, Hainault, the plans for which were passed back in October 2018, and when finished, will be a seven-storey building with capacity for 105 flats.
This comes on top of many other developments all within a short radius of this part of Hainault , including the shipping container homes on Manford Way Park, the new-builds in Kielder Close, and the just-completed flats in Marlyon Road.

Garden furniture stolen from a Chigwell care home can now be replaced, thanks to a community fundraiser which has raised £1500.
The Pinewood care home - a facility for dementia patients - had its furniture stolen on February 2 while staff were on the Manford Way site.
At that time, member Caroline Porter told the Recorder they wanted to help residents who have had a lot to deal with .
Little over a month later and they have been able to do just that. Caroline confirmed that, thanks to a £410 donation from JDV Appliances in Ilford, the fundraiser has now reached £1500.
