such as the police, and provide a mechanism for feedback of business

perspectives to the Waltham Forest Business Board

• Provide opportunities to maximise benefits from business support initiatives

available through the regional / central government bodies.

• Provide a platform for businesses to network and provide support to each

other

• Act as a key consultative body on major development proposals affecting

the town centre

• Ensure environmental improvement and sustainability for the area in the

long-term
