Here is a round up other problems affecting the Epping Area:
Local Lib Dem town and district councillors work hard to protect the character of Epping High Street. They keep a careful eye on planning applications and advertising consents.
Epping's Liberal Democrat county councillor Janet Whitehouse brought police representatives and residents together to thrash out local concerns about police performance.
The popular Green Waste collection scheme has been extended into the winter months. As well as responding to public demand, the decision will further boost the council's good recycling record.
The timetable for introducing new parking arrangements in Epping has been delayed. Local traders asked for longer to respond with their views.
