Wanstead’s mobility hub and parklet damaged and its future questioned

Wanstead High Street’s mobility hub and parklet was damaged last month after being struck by a vehicle.

“We have secured the area and are currently identifying the materials required for repair,” said a Redbridge Council spokesperson.

However, some residents have called for the seating space – installed in June 2021 – to be removed entirely. “Before the crash, this structure had fallen into disrepair. We have plenty of seating and bike racks, and it uses up valuable car parking spaces,” said Katriye Ibrahim.
