Collection fund
St Johns Church in Epping and Epping Forest District Council are coordinating a collection fund for affected residents.
Council Leader Chris Whitbread said:
This is a dreadful tragedy in which a man has lost his life and many people have been left without access to their homes.
We’re doing all we can to help support those affected and we’ve had lots of interest from kind members of the public wishing to help too.
