The Evening Standard carries news of the locally much discussed plan to create a wetlands centre in the Lea Valley.

The boundaries will embrace are Tottenham Marshes in the north and Walthamstow Marshes in the south as well as the reservoirs alongside.

The Lea Valley Walk runs north-south through the middle of the zone.

Access is to be free with the main entrance opposite the Ferry Boat pub at Tottenham. Funding comes from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Thames Water.

Planning permission is expected to be granted by Waltham Forest Council shortly.
