    © Georgina Green ~ Epping Forest though the Ages Epping Forest Preface On 6th May 1882 Queen Victoria visited High Beach where she declared through the Ages "it gives me the greatest satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful Forest to the use and enjoyment of my people for all time" . This royal visit was greeted with great enthusiasm by the thousands of people who came to see their by Queen when she passed by, as their forefathers had done for other sovereigns down through the ages . Georgina Green My purpose in writing this little book is to tell how the ordinary people have used Epping Fo rest in the past, but came to enjoy it only in more recent times. I hope to give the reader a glimpse of what life was like for those who have lived here throughout the ages and how, by using the Forest, they have physically changed it over the centuries. The Romans, Saxons and Normans have each played their part, while the Forest we know today is one of the few surviving examples of Medieval woodland management. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers frequently visited the Forest, wh ile in the 18th century the grandeur of Wanstead House attracted sight-seers from far and wide. The common people, meanwhile, were mostly poor farm labourers who were glad of the free produce they could obtain from the Forest. None of the Forest ponds are natural . some of them having been made accidentally when sand and gravel were extracted . while others were made by Man for a variety of reasons.

    Epping Forest District Council Representations to the Draft Local Plan Consultation 2016 (Regulation 18) Stakeholder ID 4806 Name Bruce Banks Fairfield Fairbank Residents Association (FFRA) Method Survey Date This document has been created using information from the Council’s database of responses to the Draft Local Plan Consultation 2016. Some elements of the full response such as formatting and images may not appear accurately. Should you wish to review the original response, please contact the Planning Policy team: [email protected] Survey Response: 1. Do you agree with the overall vision that the Draft Plan sets out for Epping Forest District? Strongly disagree Please explain your choice in Question 1: These plans for Chipping Ongar will decimate this historical town. As for the Greensted Road proposed development we can't understand why the historical Parish of Greensted is sited for proposed development for the following reasons: 1. Parish of the oldest wooden church in the world. How long will it take until we have takeaways next to the church? 2. This parish needs to be preserved for generations to come. 3. Fairfield Road supports approx. 180 homes, it can't take another 160. 4. Greensted Road has no clear point of entry for this development, this would be an accident waiting to happen. 5. We as land owners were NEVER asked if we wanted houses built in our gardens! 2. Do you agree with the overall vision that the Draft Plan sets out for Epping Forest District? Strongly disagree Please explain your choice in Question 2: SR-3090 Greensted Road development is Green Belt.

In winter, a mys- tic quality in the interior, associated with ritual, is achieved when the “weak light is split by roof work and sinks like a dim atmo- sphere into the room”.

  • Epping Forest District Questionnaire for Essex County Council
    Epping Forest District Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Network Review Consultation August 2016 Background In 2015 Essex County Council (ECC) began a thorough review of its financial support for those local bus services that it pays for across the County. This consultation is the start of the second part of the review and looks at 70 services across Essex where the current contract ends in 2017. We have grouped together services by geographical area of the County so it is easy to see whether your service is part of the review. Most bus services in Essex are run by commercial operators. The County Council’s role is to decide, where the commercial operators do not provide a service, whether one is needed and if it determines that one is, then to provide it. To help make this decision ECC looks at many factors including what alternatives are available, how many people use them and whether they offer value for money. The Council will not normally continue to support a service where it pays the operator £5.00 or more per passenger carried after all revenue (from fares of all types including the concessionary bus pass scheme) has been taken into account. This is the Cost Per Passenger Journey (CPPJ). A number of the services in this review were last tendered in 2009/10 and the prices agreed then are therefore relatively low compared to prices today. In addition ECC has not increased many of its fares since 2009. As a result a number of bus services in this review are currently close to or exceeding the £5.00 CPPJ upper support limit and are very likely to exceed it after tender.
