Ahead of the Spending Review, we have written to Rachel Reeves and Bridget Phillipson making the case for the end of the two-child benefit cap. The cap currently impacts over 7,500 children in Waltham Forest. 👶👧👦

As your Labour Councillors, we will always be proud of our diverse community who come together in good times and bad to support each other. As a Borough of Sanctuary we value and celebrate all of those who settle in Waltham Forest.
