Plans to turn graffitied Evergreen Field hoardings into a canvas for Wanstead

A community project is being planned to revamp the hoardings surrounding the Evergreen Field construction site on Wanstead High Street, next to Christ Church Green.

“The hoardings could offer a canvas to reflect Wanstead’s character, creativity and community spirit throughout the construction period,” said local resident Bronagh Byrne, who is coordinating the initiative. “I contacted Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing Association [the developers] last November and they have been supportive and open to working with the community on this idea. The project is still at an early, exploratory stage and I’d love to hear from local residents, groups and organisations who might be interested in getting involved.”

A four-storey development, including a children’s nursery and 24 flats, is being built on the site. The work is expected to be completed by late 2027.
