Bury Town went some way to righting the wrongs of 12 months ago with tonight's 4-0 victory over Waltham Abbey in the semi-finals of the Isthmian League North Division play-offs
Prior to kick off at the Getaway Cars Stadium, assistant manager Paul Musgrove had encouraged the Blues to use the disappointment of last season's defeat at the same stage to Brentwood Town as motivation for this evening's encounter
And it was very much a case of message received as Bury booked their place in Saturday's final
for which they will have home advantage after Brightlingsea Regent won 3-1 at fellow Suffolk side Felixstowe & Walton United
it was perhaps not surprising that the first half played out in such cagey fashion
The majority of Bury's best moments early on came from crosses
There was 10 minutes on the clock when Taylor Parr headed Mikey Davis' right-wing corner into the hands of Bradley Robinson
who also held on to Lewis O'Malley's glancing effort six minutes later
At the other end Charlie Beckwith was largely unworked until the 35th minute when he was left flailing at thin air
It was Waltham's leading goalscorer Prince Domafriyie that unleashed a swerving effort from 30 yards that got the better of Bury's number one
And that looked like being the last significant piece of action of the opening period until the 45th minute when Bury broke the deadlock
It started with the half's best passage of football involving the likes of Ethan Mayhew
The move eventually broke down inside the Waltham box
but with the away side's defence somewhat hesitant to clear their lines
Ollie Canfer pounced to fire in from close range
who had done the league double over Bury this season
came out for the second half on the front foot
They forced a couple of early corners and from one of those Edwin Mensah's goalbound header in the 53rd minute was cleared by Bury skipper Josh Curry
That proved to be one of the game’s crucial moments because 60 seconds later the hosts extended their advantage
Ryan Jolland sent in a cross from the right which was met by Davis
who lashed an emphatic left footed shot beyond Robinson
Goal number three arrived in the 61st minute
O'Malley was first to try his luck from an inswinging corner and when the ball broke loose
a determined Parr was on hand to force the ball home from six yards out
It could have got even better for Bury three minutes later through another of their defensive unit
This time it was skipper Curry that glanced a low header no more than a yard off target from Ed Upson's deep inswinging free-kick
For a period after that it was all about game management
Waltham had plenty of the possession but Bury remained resolute
And they were rewarded with a fourth goal 10 minutes from time
Upson did well to keep the ball alive at the back post with a back-heel that found Maughn
It appeared that the chance had gone when the midfielder opted against shooting with his left foot
but he managed to squeeze the ball through for Canfer
who made no mistake to double his tally for the night
That was Canfer’s last involvement and his replacement – Tommy Stagg – had a good opportunity within seconds of entering the field but his low shot from 12 yards out was thwarted by Robinson
Reform UK’s Dame Andrea Jenkyns has been elected the first-ever Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire
The declaration of the result came through at 6:48AM and was made at Grimsby
her nearest rival Conservative Rob Waltham almost exactly 40,000 votes behind
The result was broadly in line with a YouGov poll of the mayoral election
which predicted Dame Andrea would win with approximately 40 per cent of the vote
and Rob Waltham in second with 25 per cent
And the result by each council area is below:

The US owners of the proposed Sunset Waltham Cross Studios project near London are now exploring other uses for the site
according to the local council for the Hertfordshire town where the £700m development was to have been built.
A statement posted on the Borough of Broxbourne web site on March 17 says that Hudson Pacific Properties and Blackstone
partners in the joint venture behind the project
have “informed the Council that they are exploring alternative uses for the site.”
The statement quotes the joint venture partners saying they “share [the Council’s] disappointment that a studio development is no longer feasible at this time given market conditions
We are determined to work with the Council to secure the best possible alternative use for the site to support economic prosperity for the local community.”
A Hudson Pacific Properties representative in the US had not responded to a request for comment at press time.
First announced in 2021
Sunset Waltham Cross Studios was to have been a 1.2m square foot facility with 21 sound stages as well as offices
The project had been billed as contributing £300m a year to the local economy and creating 4,500 jobs.
Development of the site was paused in 2023 as film and TV production levels declined with the end of the peak TV boom and the Hollywood actors and writers strikes.
The development would have been the first expansion outside the US of Hudson’s Sunset Studios group
which operates four studio sites in Los Angeles and recently began construction on Sunset Pier 94 Studios in New York City.
The Borough of Broxbourne statement says the site had been allocated as a “strategic employment site” and that the council “will now work closely with the owners to ensure that its future use is in line with that allocation.”
Council leader Mark Mills-Bishop is quoted in the statement saying
“I am extremely disappointed to learn that the planned Sunset Studios facility will now not proceed
It is my understanding that the market conditions are currently not favourable for new film studios across the UK
The decision may well be taken out of my hands if a large unitary council replaces the Borough of Broxbourne as part of Local Government Reorganisation
but I will do everything I can to ensure that future development on that site provides the best possible economic opportunities for the residents of Broxbourne.”

Waltham Forest is the quickest place in England and Wales to sell a property
And all that hype is reflected in the revelation that Waltham Forest is apparently the fastest place in England and Wales to sell a house right now. New research from property listing platform Zoopla says that so far in 2025 Waltham Forest homes have sat on the market for just 19 days on average before being snapped up
the average time a property in WFB waits between being listed and getting an offer accepted is just under three weeks
Zoopla describes Waltham Forest as a borough that is ‘accessible and enjoys good schools
noting its popularity with ‘families looking to stay within commuting distance of central London’
Zoopla says the northeast London borough’s average selling price is £525,000
And it isn’t just Zoopla remarking on how quick Waltham Forest properties getting snapped up
OnTheMarket’s Under Offer Index tracks not just sales but lettings
too – and also reveals that the borough is among the most desirable places to live in the country.
when taking into account both sales and lettings
Waltham Forest properties are only on the market for an average of 49 days
when you take into account rentals Waltham Forest isn’t even the hottest market in London
never mind the UK: Havering (with an average of 44 days on the market) and Bexley (47 days) are shifting properties faster

acted for the Claimants in a landmark hearing in the Employment Tribunal ("ET") over the question of whether foster carers are “workers” and can bring claims in the employment tribunal
The Claimants were or are foster carers providing care on behalf of local authorities
The Claimants presented claims before the Employment Tribunal
but the local authorities questioned the validity of their claims on the basis that the relationship between a foster carer and a local authority is not one that entitles the Claimants to seek redress before an employment tribunal
This argument is bolstered by the Court of Appeal authority of W v Essex County Council [1999] Fam90 which stated that foster carers did not work under a contract
but that their relationship with local authorities was instead governed by a statutory regime
including under the Children Act 1989 and Fostering Service (England) Regulations 2011
The main issued explored in the judgment were [3.1-3.3]:
i) Whether in light of recent Supreme Court decisions including Uber BV v Aslam
W Essex County Council still prevents the Tribunal from holding that Claimants are able to access statutory rights;
ii) Whether under EU derived rights the existence of a contract is a precondition of exercising any such right;
iii) Whether excluding the Claimants from ECHR rights amounts to a breach of Article 14 of the Convention
the Claimants argued that the tribunal is required to read the Working Time Regulations 1998 and the EA 2010 to allow foster carers to assert rights to a paid holiday and complain under Part 5 of the EA 2010 about unlawful discrimination
If EU law required no contract between the employer and worker for the worker to point to an EU right
then without any changes caused by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU
the tribunal must interpret domestic legislation in a way that is consistent with that right [188]
EJ Crosfill accepted that the approach in Uber would permit a tribunal to depart from written agreements that exclude the existence of a contract or to place contractual liability on a party that is not the true party to the contractual agreement [155]
whilst Uber made it easier for the putative worker to push aside arrangements that appear to exclude the existence of a contract
it does not dispense with the requirement for a contract altogether
EJ Crosfill concluded that on domestic construction of status
W v Essex remains the binding authority for the proposition that the Claimants do not work under a contract
the ET would have found that foster carers were indeed workers [186]
EJ Crosfill stated that foster carers can only provide services to one fostering service at a time; they cannot market their services; are unable to negotiate remuneration rates to a significant degree and work under the control of the fostering service
Therefore the local authorities are neither their clients nor their customers
EJ Crosfill would have concluded that the Claimants are workers under domestic legislation and Section 83 EA 2010 [185-186]
EJ Crosfill applied the cases of Rowlands v City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and NUFPC in stating that they remain binding authorities for the proposition that working pursuant to a contract is a precondition for claims under Part 5 of the EA 2010 [232.2]. In asking whether the Claimants were workers for the purposes of the WTD 2003
he applied the CJEU case of Constanţa and determined that the Claimants would have been regarded as workers under WTD 2003 [227]
he held that the ‘24/7/365 nature’ of foster carers’ work meant it was incompatible with the rest regime set out in the WTD 2003 [238]
It is for states to ensure there is sufficient protection for health and safety where rights under the WTD 2003 are excluded [239]
he held that reliance on EU law did not assist the Claimants in respect of their claims under WTR 1998 or the EA 2010 but agreed with the Claimants in many respects [273]
The ET remained bound by the conclusion that W v Essex barred the Claimants from bringing claims under Part 5 of the EA 2010 or any other claims where domestic legislation requires a contract as a precondition to access this right [197]
EJ Crosfill still held that as long as the Claimants are unable to bring themselves within Part 5 of the EA 2010
a foster carer could complain of discrimination under Section 29 of the EA 2010 [251]
EJ Crosfill found that it was possible under human rights law to construe protections for foster carers in respect of whistleblowing under Article 10 [283] and discrimination claims under Article 8 [299]
but not minimum wage or working time regulations protections
In considering proportionality in respect of whistleblowing
EJ Crosfill found that extending rights to whistleblowing and discrimination protection was more likely to benefit children and was not satisfied the State had shown sufficient justification for excluding foster carers from such rights
finding a breach of Claimants’ rights under Articles 10 and 8 respectively [380; 385]
This judgment will have considerable implications on the rights and protections afforded to foster carers going forward
with the judgment indicating that the current lack of protection in respect of whistleblowing and discrimination to be in breach of Convention rights
this judgment could be a key step in changing the nature of foster care rights and improving their status as workers

The First Tier Tribunal (FTT) may only review its decision to resolve a matter arising from the grounds of appeal
and in cases involving financial penalties it may not invent a discount outwith the council’s policy
Waltham Forest LBC (“the Council”) designated its area as subject to additional licensing
Marble Properties (London) Ltd (“the Agent”) was the person managing and/or having control of the subject property
The Council imposed upon the Agent a financial penalty of £12,000
and informed it that if it paid within 28 days the penalty would be further reduced to £9,000
The FTT concluded that the appropriate penalty upon application of the Council’s policy (“the Policy”) was £8,000 and that
notwithstanding the Policy not making provision for the same
the FTT reviewed its decision in a manner not foreshadowed by the application for permission to appeal; in particular
it concluded that if it was wrong as to its application of the Policy
that policy was “too rigid” and should be departed from
The Upper Tribunal allowed the Council’s appeal
It had not been entitled to invent a discount outwith the Policy: §54
It had not been entitled to review its decision for reasons extraneous to the grounds of appeal: §69
It had in any event wrongly concluded that the Policy was “too rigid”: §90
The FTT is not the appropriate forum in which to challenge policy: §§53
The penalty imposed by the Council was reinstated

A new car park and drop off zone opposite Waltham Toll Bar Academy is set to open following a period of works on Monday
The 54-space car park on land off Station Road began construction in August in response to parents’ concerns regarding safety
these concerns were surrounding the start and end of the school day
North East Lincolnshire Council submitted the application for the car park
The land off Station Road is in council ownership – agreed as part of a section 106 agreement at the time planning permission for the adjoining housing development was approved
The car park will be managed by North East Lincolnshire Council
It will be open from 7am until 6pm during term time with the free drop-off – using the ordinary bays as well as specific zone – restricted to 8am to 9am and 3pm to 4pm
The site will be closed from 6pm with barriers preventing evening and night-time entry
These will be £1.50 for two hours and £2.50 for the full day
will be introduced along both sides of Station Road to ensure drop-offs are made in the car park only
These restrictions are in place to help prevent parents parking on the grass verges either side of the road
The car park will also include landscaping to ensure the car park is shielded from the new homes nearest to the site
as well as considering some natural barriers between the car park and Station Road
said: “This is a brilliant initiative that will ensure the safety of countless school children
“We understand the concerns raised by parents and have acted upon them as swiftly as possible
“It will undoubtedly be a vital asset to those using the car park and I look forward to it being utilised.”

Full-time: Waltham Abbey 1-3 Chelmsford City
Chelmsford City produced a professional performance against Waltham Abbey to earn their spot in the semi-finals of the BBC Essex Senior Cup
Jordan Greenidge’s first-half opener was cancelled out by Nathan Koranteng’s powerful strike from the edge of the box
Kalvin Kalala’s 15-minute brace restored the Clarets’ lead and gave City a two-goal advantage heading into half-time
A professional second half performance from Robbie Simpson’s side saw them maintain their two-goal lead
although Turner and Kane Crichlow both squandered opportunities to further increase the scoreline
City boss Simpson fielded a strong team at Capershotts on Tuesday night
Paul Appiah and Osman Foyo kept their places in the starting eleven from Saturday’s defeat against Hampton & Richmond
Turner and Kalala were all recalled into the matchday squad and starting XI for the Senior Cup quarter-final
City started the game quickly and raced into a seventh-minute lead when Cambridge United loanee Glenn McConnell squared the ball to Greenidge in the penalty area
Greenidge kept his composure from close range and clinically finished past Waltham Abbey goalkeeper Bradley Robinson
Greenidge’s goal drew a quick response from the hosts
won on the edge of the Clarets’ penalty box
The winger produced a fierce first-time strike into the top corner of Ted Collins’ goal
which left the goalkeeper no chance of making a save
The flurry of early goals at Capershotts continued 180 seconds later when Kalala scored for City in the 14th minute
The Frenchman displayed some nice skill while cutting inside from the left flank before having a shot at goal
which took a deflection that helped the effort past Robinson
Robinson produced an impressive save in the 18th minute to deny Foyo a goal
tipping a powerful strike from the Ipswich Town loanee over the crossbar
he was unable to prevent Kalala from completing his brace seven minutes before half-time
The winger’s goal at the back post capped off a well-worked City passing move
with McConnell playing the final pass of the move to set up Kalala and register his second assist of the game
The Abbotts squandered the chance to halve City’s lead going into the break when former Claret Luke Deslandes fired a penalty over the crossbar
Deslandes stepped forward from 12 yards out after referee Jack Willmored spotted a foul inside the penalty area during the hosts’ final attack of the half
Deslandes was unable to keep his effort down and sent it out of the ground
Simpson’s side produced a professional performance during the second half to see the game out and ensure their progress from the quarter-final tie
Midfielders Alfie Bendle and Archie Tamplin both tested Robinson with shots on target
but the Waltham Abbey keeper was equal to their efforts
Turner and substitute Kane Crichlow were next to come close to scoring their side’s fourth goal of the night
goalkeeper Robinson was once again equal to the Clarets’ efforts and made a good stop to deny Crichlow after he went through on goal one-on-one
Heybridge Swifts and National League South rivals Hornchurch have both progressed to the semi-finals of the Essex Senior Cup alongside City
although the final side in the draw is still undecided at the time of writing

Waltham Forest Council is recruiting a design team for a new child-friendly green route connecting Sidmouth Park and Coronation Gardens in Leyton [Deadline: 25 July 2023]
The winning public realm design team will draw up plans for a new child-friendly green route running from Francis Road to Oliver Road and improving the public realm connection between Leyton’s Sidmouth Park and Coronation Gardens
The £300,000 project aims to harness considerate design
community participation and environmental resilience to transform these two green spaces so they ‘not only serve today’s residents but also inspire future generations.’
According to the brief: ‘The London Borough of Waltham Forest is seeking to appoint a public realm design consultant with proven landscape and garden design expertise to develop a coherent vision and a suite of projects that will deliver a child-friendly green route between Francis Road and Oliver Road in Leyton
through Sidmouth Park and Coronation Gardens
and to increase the capacity of Sidmouth Park and Coronation Gardens.’
Waltham Forest is a semi-suburban borough bounded by Epping Forest and the River Lea. The area, which is strongly associated with William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, has witnessed rapid transformation in recent years and was London Borough of Culture 2019
Recent interventions within the district include the Brokkys Crofte experimental playground by Max Dewdney Architects, Assemble’s Blackhorse Workshop, and Drapers Field recreation ground by Kinnear Landscape Architects. In 2022, Practice Architecture won planning to expand an urban farm project in Waltham Forest

The new Whipps Cross Hospital will not be built until 2036
the NHS has announced as local councillors express disappointment at the delay
first announced in 2019 by the previous Conservative government
was delayed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in January
Though work is underway on a new multi-storey car park
construction of the new hospital is not expected to start until 2032
It was initially supposed to be finished by 2030
The NHS says development of the new hospital has been “paused” but “certainly not abandoned”
which runs the hospital and has developed the plans for its replacement
which could lead to a loss of expertise and “institutional memory”
The Leytonstone hospital serves around 350,000 people across Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Epping Forest.
Thirty new hospitals in the UK will be delivered in waves, with the most urgently needed built over the next three years, forming ‘wave zero’. Whipps Cross will be delivered as part of ‘wave two’.
The final meeting of the current joint health overview and scrutiny committee (JHOSC), made up of councillors from Waltham Forest and Redbridge, was held last night (Thursday 1st).
Representatives from the NHS said there would be “significant financial implications” for the existing hospital as a result of the latest delay to Whipps Cross.
Nearly £100million has been invested in the hospital since 2015 to tackle backlogs and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. Each scheme has a lifespan of around 15 years, which were then in line with the initial projects for the rebuild.
Additionally, adjacent land cannot be freed up for 1,500 new homes – at a time when Waltham Forest and Redbridge councils are struggling with housing shortages.
After a brief update from NHS officials, the committee was placed into dormancy for the foreseeable future.
Campaigners from Action4Whipps, a local group, urged the committee to continue its scrutiny of the plans.
They warned that without JHOSC’s oversight, services such as the Margaret Centre, which provides end-of-life care, could become “run down”. Additionally, the councils need to keep an eye on what Barts Health is doing “to make the crumbling Whipps Cross infrastructure safe and fit for purpose” over the next decade.
Waltham Forest councillor Richard Sweden said it would be an “unjustifiable strain” on the council’s resources but the committee will reconvene if “the facts on the ground change”.
As a final action by the committee, Cllr Sweden said he would write to the Department of Health over the “lack of clarity in the decision-making process” behind delaying the hospital.
Thousands signed Waltham Forest Council’s ‘Whipps Won’t Wait’ petition after the hospital was damaged by flooding in 2021, and leader Grace Williams said in January they would be “frustrated after years of delays and disappointment”.
She said a new Whipps Cross Hospital was her “greatest priority” and “cannot wait any longer”.

The £700m development to build 21 sound stages plus offices
workshops and production support has been scrapped
according to the local council for the Hertfordshire town where the £700m development was to have been built

The news follows Pinewood adapting its plans for expansion
with 78% of its proposed 1.4m sq ft expansion now being taken up by a data centre rather than new studio spaces
The original expansion plan included 21 new sound stages
First announced in 2021
The project had been billed as contributing £300m a year to the local economy and creating 4,500 jobs
Development of the site was paused in 2023 as film and TV production levels declined with the end of the peak TV boom and the Hollywood actors and writers strikes

The Borough of Broxbourne statement says the site had been allocated as a “strategic employment site” and that the council “will now work closely with the owners to ensure that its future use is in line with that allocation.”
