The Wanstead Youth Centre has been dormant since October 2023, and local residents, led by Liz Martins, criticize Redbridge Council's plans to convert its sports hall into educational facilities.
Council officers defended the decision to transform the youth centre into an education hub, citing cost-efficiency and the need for funding support with a projected completion date of September 2025.
Liz Martins articulated community concerns by stating the closure of the centre has prevented local children from engaging in important activities, underscoring the facility's significance to residents.
The costs associated with maintaining the Wanstead Youth Centre prompted its closure last September, with former leader Jas Athwal emphasizing the importance of managing closures without leaving residents without options.
