Redevelopment of St-John's Road

Many Epping residents will know about the county council's plan to relocate Epping Junior School to a new combined Infant and Junior school in Coronation Hill. The former Youth and Adult Centre, temporarily used by Epping Infant School, will also be vacant. This will result in a large county owned site becoming available for redevelopment and Epping Forest District Council has announced it is looking at the future of the adjacent Epping Depot. In addition the county council owns the derelict garages behind the library and St John's Church is planning to redevelop part of its property.
