We have now arranged a number of Events for 2021 to be held online via Zoom. Please see the events tab above for details. This means that members can watch or listen to the talks at home, on their computer or phone.
Instructions for viewing the talks will be sent in emails to members preceding the meetings.
We do of course hope to revert to public meetings as soon as it is possible to do so, though when that might be cannot be predicted.
Queen's Road Planning Approval
The face of Queen's Road is set to change after planning approval was given by EFDC to demolish the bungalow at 2 Princes Road and construct a three-storey block of flats with commercial units at street level. This is the currently open corner diagonally opposite Waitrose at the junction of Queen's Road and Princes Road.
Epping Forest Car Park Charges
Once again we are grateful to Valerie Jones of West Essex Ramblers for this update. From 10th May 2021 you will be required to pay for car parking at 14 car parks in Epping Forest. These include all the car parks in Chingford (Bury Road, Barn Hoppitt, the Golf Club, Warren Pond, Connaught Water etc), High Beach, Leyton and Wanstead. It will cost you £4 for up to 4 hours or £6 for up to 6 hours parking. The charges apply all day, every day of the week. Be aware that cash payment IS NOT an option. In Chingford, Leyton and Wanstead you will only be able to pay with mobile phone technology using RingGo. You have to download the RingGo app to your phone and set up an account with them, giving your mobile number, car registration and payment details. Once you’ve parked you then register your arrival and intended length of stay at the car park via your mobile, and they charge your account. If you decide to go ahead you are strongly advised to set up your account with RingGo from home, before you go anywhere near a car park. Do not rely on being able to get through to a person on the phone to set it up once you are there. High Beach does not have mobile phone coverage. Therefore, only at High Beach will there be pay and display machines. Again, the system will be cashless and payment will be by card only.” |
