Residents for residents.Putting people before politics.Sounds good, doesn't it?

The Epping Forest Independent Group was founded in January 2024 with a clear mission: to put power back where it belongs - in the hands of local people. Across Epping Forest, communities are tired of being heard only when it suits politicians. They are frustrated by party politics forcing councillors to back unpopular developments and policies that undermine our area.

We are a fresh, dynamic, and determined force - proactive, diverse, and driven by the needs of our residents. We’ve already proven that real change is possible, standing as the true opposition to the Conservatives and winning across the district, not just in scattered strongholds like other parties.

If you care about local issues, if you want councillors who truly stand up for you, and if you’re tired of the same old political games - Epping Forest Independents want to be part of something better.

Do you want to be too?
