More information on the LSP can be found on One Epping Forest website.

Ward Profiles

The Ward Profiles (Key Facts 2) bring together useful data at a local level and have been prepared by Forward Planning Officers at Epping Forest District Council, supported by the Local Strategic Partnership. They sit underneath the over-arching District Profile 'Shaping the Future' (Key Facts 1).

The Ward Profiles are intended to provide a data 'snapshot' of the Wards within the District. This information will help the Local Strategic Partnership to identify trends and issues within the District, which will inform the preparation of the new Sustainable Community Strategy.
