LORRIES DAMAGING EPPING WAR MEMORIAL AREA

Once again this week, the area surrounding our town’s War Memorial in Church Hill has been damaged by lorries who use the small road around the memorial as a place to turn.

In the last two months there has been six vehicles to get stuck on the green, often damaging the stone path leading to the memorial.

Epping Town Council are committed to improving the rather sorry state of Epping’s War Memorial and its immediate surroundings. As such, it is reaching out to District and County Council colleagues, as well as the Corporation of the City of London (who own the green on which the memorial sits) in an attempt to draw-up a plan for improvement. Further updates on this important area of our town will follow in due course…

LISTED STATUS FOR EPPING'S WAR MEMORIAL

Epping Town Council has, today, received official notification that the town’s War Memorial in Church Hill has been granted Grade II listed building status.

Listed buildings are managed by English Heritage, but requests to obtain graded statuses have to be formally approved by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The status itself is designed to preserve our memorial as an item of significant importance and should ensure it is protected and maintained to a high standard for generations to come.
