Two years ago, during the last local elections, residents in Bumbles Green told me the village needed a new playground. I was delighted to work with the Parish Council to secure funding. It’s great to see the new playground & outdoor gym
complete & being enjoyed by local people.

Today we were out again in Abridge reviewing feedback received from local residents via our 2025 Resident Survey. Great to be with some of our local Conservative Team from Epping Forest including Councillor Craig McCann, Cllr Raymond Balcombe, Cllr Darshan Sunger and Cllr Lee Scott. Working with Cllr Kaz Rizvi they are a hard working team of local councillors who are delivering on the priorities of local residents. 👏 #Abridge #Chigwell #LambourneEnd #EFDC #Conservatives

Peaceful protest is just one way to call for the closure of the hotel.

As a council we’re working behind the scenes, using democratic, diplomatic & legal routes to shut it down.

This isn’t about who gets the credit. What matters is protecting our community & getting it closed!

[Neil Hudson @DrNeilHudson]

Honoured & humbled to have been invited to become the first Patron of #EppingForestDistrictMuseum in #WalthamAbbey.
I am thrilled to support this vital cultural institution that preserves & celebrates our rich history here in #EppingForest. @EFDMuseum

As a council, we have been against the hotel reopening from the outset.

On 11th July – before the protests began – I submitted a motion to council demanding its closure. We launched a petition the same day.

We have been working hard behind the scenes to find a solution 1/2

[Louise McKinlay @LouiseMcKinlay]

Closing the Bell Hotel and stopping it being used to house asylum seekers is about restoring safety, respecting local voices, and protecting our community’s future.

This legal action is absolutely the right move by Conservative-led Epping Forest District Council.

Epping Forest District Council has launched legal action in the High Court to close the Bell Hotel in Epping and stop it from being used to house asylum seekers. 1/2

Obviously I have touched a nerve Jaymey. I stand by every word of what I said in the chamber last night. The room and local people are with me.

You tried to wriggle out of what you said but we all heard it.

We can agree on one thing. The people of Epping Forest deserve the very best representation.

That is not you.

You were kicked out of the Conservative Party and for good reason. You then stood as an independent before joining Reform. You style yourself as the defender of democracy and yet you lack the courage to call for a by-election given that you have changed political parties. Your words ring hollow. You are running scared.

You are not fit for public office. I wonder if @reformparty_uk know just how much of a liability you are.

True Conservatives are back. It is you who needs to read the room.

It was humbling last night to attend the Candlelight Vigil at BAPS Mandir in #Chigwell. A very moving service where our community came together in remembrance and prayers for those who tragically lost their lives, and the families impacted in the plane crash in Ahmedabad.

Our welfare system is broken.

We need to back the makers, not the takers.

🚫 I’ve launched a petition to STOP turning Epping Forest’s Farmland and Green Belt into Solar Farms 🌾

🔗 https://t.co/fFVdw2io6s

I am particuarly concerned about the proposed Upland Solar Farm which would cover 237 acres of farmland between Epping Upland & Thornwood Common.
