Parking Issues Residents in Epping Green are totally fed up with car owners who do not consider others when parking their vehicles. We have received many complaints from residents unable to get their cars out of driveways safely as the sight lines are blocked or, in worst cases, totally blocked in by vehicles parking across a driveway. Recently a fire engine had great difficulty in getting through. Please be more considerate when parking. We are liaising with the community police officer to see what measures can be taken.
