Epping Forest residents deserve a break from relentless council tax rises, according to the Liberal Democrats.

However the Lib Dem budget amendment was rejected, meaning that council tax will increase again this year. Liberal Democrat Group Leader Jon Whitehouse, who proposed the budget amendment, said:

The H1 bus service from Loughton to Harlow no longer runs on weekdays and there are only four H1 buses each way on Saturdays.

After over a year of delay the County Council is at last publishing its proposals for changes to parking restrictions in Buckhurst Hill.
