Park longer for less in #EppingForest

From Monday all @eppingforestdc owned car parks will be charging 20p for 2.5 hours.

This is just one of the measures the council is taking to help kickstart the recovery of our local high streets as we move out of Covid-19 lockdown.

We are saddened to learn of the death of Cllr Margaret Chalk. Margaret served #Loughton with distinction for many years and in particular was a staunch supporter of our club, for which she was made a Life Honorary Member in 1997 with husband Dennis. @LoughtonRA @LoughtonFest

@EFD_Bshift @EFDTCT So it was the man one of the Epping Forest Neighbourhood Watch members photographed. Yet again Neighbourhood Watchers support Essex Police because we know they cannot be everywhere. That is what Neighbourhood Watch is all about.

We were delighted to receive a letter from Loughton Town Council today awarding us a grant of £3,000 towards the costs of the Loughton Festival 2020. We can now start to finalise our programme and hopefully raise a decent amount of money for St Clare Hospice. @hospicestclare
