Epping Town Council are due to hold their Annual Meeting on Tuesday 4th May at 8.15pm at Epping Hall, St. John’s Road, Epping, CM16 5JU, to which all members of the public are invited to attend.

At this meeting, the first item of the agenda is for sitting elected Councillors in Epping to nominate and vote to elect a new Town Mayor for a period of 12 months. The current Mayor of Epping, Councillors Mrs. Janet Hedges will hand over her the town’s gold Chains of Office, her seat as Chairman of Council proceedings and relinquish all duties associated with being the ‘First Citizen’ of Epping before joining the ranks of Former Mayors.
