WALTHAM Forest Council has applied for permission to erect a temporary ice rink and market on the Arcade site.

The rink will be used for six weeks this winter and will be illuminated by around 10 lights between 12 and 15ft high.

The decision follows a consultation about what the site, on the corner of Hoe Street and High Street, should be used for in the short-term.
