Epping's nightlife could really do with a boost. Hopefully think wouldn't be torpedoed by NIMBYs!

EEF NEWS - EPPING: Councillor calls for name changes for new housing developments

Such a missed opportunity. Perhaps we should be getting taxpayer-owned Qualis to sell it's commercial property portfolio. So the council can get back to core services, like housing.

Looks good. Hopefully it doesn't get torpedoed by NIMBYs.

I’ll say it again: Epping station needs redevelopment. Part of which needs to be moving the bus stop away from the entrance. One heritage bus, and suddenly it’s hard to get out of the ticket hall, and commercial buses have to stop further up making it difficult for people to board.

That car park is possibly one of the worst things to happen to Epping. No doubt Cllrs will blame the problems on Qualis Commercial; hoping residents don't realise Qualis is owned by the council.

This is a great example of how little recyclable material you can get in one of the new blue bins. Epping Forest council need to do a u-turn on this cost cutting plan and get serious about recycling. #Epping
