News from the local Essex area

New Blue Recyling Bin being rolled out

The rollout of the new bin begins in June. Residents can start using the new bin as soon as they receive it. It will be delivered in stages during June and July to limit disruption to collections. 

 

The new blue-lidded recycling bin replaces both the clear recycling sacks and blue box currently used for recycling items including paper, plastic containers, tins and cans, and glass bottles and jars, making recycling even easier.

 

All eligible households will get a 240-litre bin which is bigger than the black-lidded household waste bins.

Epping Multi Storey Car Park Pay and Display
 

The Cottis Yard Multi Storey car park in Epping has transferred ownership from Qualis to Epping Forest District Council.

 

The main change for users is that the car park will be pay & display, to coincide with all other council-run car parks.

 

Customers must ensure they pay for parking before leaving their vehicle in the car park.

As part of the transfer, Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) is installing more payment machines to reduce queuing time for customers. 

 

There will be a contactless and card machine on every floor and one machine on the ground floor that accepts cash. 

 

Users can still use the MiPermit virtual parking app to make quick and easy payments.

The parking tariffs and 24/7 access to the car park will stay the same. Charging hours will remain from 7am to midnight, 7 days a week. Season ticket prices will be aligned with other EFDC car parks.
