Cllr Chris Whitbead, leader of Epping Forest Distric Council. Photo: Lewis Berrill Epping Forest’s council leader says the Conservatives ‘good local record’ and focus on comparatively low council tax rates convinced voters to back the party. On May 6 Epping Forest’s district elections saw the Tories defend 11 seats comfortably and pick up three vacant seats. Not much changed on the day, with the Loughton Residents Association reaffirming their dominance in Loughton town, defending all the seven of the ward seats up for election while council stalwarts Jon Whitehouse (Lb Dem) and Simon Heap (Green) also defended their seats.
