Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Campaigner Councillor Ann Haigh has launched an interactive map on this website (www.eflibdems.org.uk/potholes) to highlight the vast problem of potholes in Epping Forest.
Liberal Democrat councillors proposed a council budget which would have increased the district council's share of the tax bill by just 0.6%, but were overruled by the Conservative majority which pushed through a 2.5% increase instead.

Jill Sutcliffe and Councillor Ann Haigh have received many complaints about parking in in Scotland Road and Amberley Road.
