New Shops on High Street
Epping High Street has attracted the interest of significant national shop chains in recent months. First Costa Coffee moved into the old Dixons store, followed by Holland and Barrett who took over the empty Co-op chemists store. Local Lib Dem councillors welcomed the fact that they have kept the 'traditional-style' bow windows and repainted the shop front attractively. "This is a real contrast to some shops which don't appear to think about the impact of their facias or let the corporate identity override everything," said town councillor Janet Hedges.
