 Gypsy & Traveller Consultation

Due to a Government directive, Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) have to provide a plan in September 2009 outlining 49 sites within their district for permenant gypsy and traveller sites.   In order to do this, EFDC have provided a consultation document with a number of potential areas outlined throughout their district, 6 of these are in the North Weald/Thornwood area.

EFDC require the views of all residents throughout the village and the consultation period will commence on 4th November and continue until 20th January 2009. 

To find out more, please visit the Epping Forest District Council's website.

 In order to make your views heard, it is essential that every resident in the village over the age of 18 years complete this document.  This is not a done deal and the more people that have their say they better.  For those residents that do not respond, the EFDC will accept these as agreeing to the sites and suggestions outlined in the consultation document.

The deadline for completion of questionnaires/consultation documents has been extended to 6th February 2009.

A North Weald Residents Association (NWRA)  has also been newly formed, and have agreed the objective of visiting every household in North Weald in the next few weeks, to personally drop off a hard copy of the consultation document together with a required number of questionnaires for each adult in the household and  they will return at a later date to collect completed documentation. 

NWRA require many volunteers to help deliver and collect the consultation throughout the village. If you would like to find out more about NWRA, how to join or to volunteer to help, visit their website at www.northweald.org.uk.
