The barriers have been replaced by an extended pavement. Photo: EFDC The unsightly orange barriers used to extend the pavement space in Epping High Street are finally gone. The barriers were erected at the start of the to help pedestrians maintain social distance by extending the ‘pavement’ into the road. However, the bright orange barriers were considered and eye-sore by many, and could often be found strewn across the ground, knocked over by the wind or vehicles. Teams have been working hard in Epping High Street. The unsightly barriers have gone and in their place are new planters, seating and wider pavements to encourage continued social distancing and to enhance the appearance of the town.#covidsafe#towncentre#springplantingpic.twitter.com/OF2Yn9YuwW Epping Forest DC (@ep

EPPING U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., visited students and teachers at Epping High School last week to talk about their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The senator also met with administrators to see how the federal relief funding that the school district has received is supporting students and teachers.
“This pandemic has been incredibly difficult for students, teachers, and parents across New Hampshire,” said Hassan. “I appreciated the opportunity to visit students, teachers, and administrators in Epping to hear how they are using federal funding to meet students’ academic and social and emotional needs during this difficult year. As we see the light at the end of the tunnel of this pandemic, I will continue working to ensure that students across New Hampshire have the support that they need to complete their education and thrive.”
Epping Town Football Club was kicked out of its home by the town council after almost half a century at the ground. The Essex Olympian Football League side has played at Stonards Hill since 1972 however a feud with Epping Town Council saw it kicked out of its ground. The bad-blooded dispute led to the council refusing to renew the club’s licence to play at Stonards Hill for the 2020/21 season. The football club had levelled criticism at the council for only allowing the club to use the main football pitches during the playing season. A “wonderful young man” and a stalwart of the local rugby club lost his life tragically.
