LOCAL NEWS

News from the local Essex area

Council Tax Rise Agreed

Council Tax rates for 2024 / 2025 were set at the meeting of Epping Forest District Council on 20th February.

 

The weekly household payment by a family in an average Band D property to Epping Forest District Council will increase by just over 9 pence per week.

 

Agreeing their own 2024 / 2025 budget earlier in the meeting, Epping Forest District councillors also confirmed what is expected to be the lowest district council precept in Essex


 

Nominations for Citizen of the Year wanted

North Weald Bassett Parish Council are asking people to nominate an individual or group within the community for the Citizen of the Year Awards 2024.

 

The nomination may be for a single act of outstanding courage or bravery, or might encompass work carried out within the Parish, good-neighbourliness, commitment to a sporting or

educational goal or to improve community facilities to name a few.

 

The individual/group may be nominated by any person who lives or works within the Parish of North Weald Bassett and the nominees must live or work in the parish.

Unsuccessful bid to purchase Methodist Church

On Tuesday 20th February the North Weald Bassett Parish Council was informed by the Estate Agent in charge of marketing the North Weald Methodist Church that the Parish Councils offer to purchase the site (for the full asking price) had not been accepted.  

 

This is obviously extremely disappointing, given out of the nearly 200 people who responded to the survey/poll, over 96% were fully in support of the Parish Council acquiring the site, hoping that it could remain as a community facility for the benefit of local residents.    It seems as though we didn’t even get out of the starting gate!  We have not been advised as to whom the site has been sold to, so are unable to provide any further information as to what the future of the site will be.
