Elections to
Grange Hill
in December 2006, and then following gains at this election.
The
Independent
lost their seat to the Conservatives, leaving two remaining on the council.
This election saw the Epping Community Action Group come third in both Epping wards. The party, registered in 2005, ran on a pledge to rejuvenate Epping high street and save small shops by relaxing parking laws. It opposed fortnightly collection of household rubbish and committed to not build on green belt land. Run by Ian Anderson, a former leader of the National Front between 1990 and 1995. Anderson's local party also committed to re-open the local adult learning centre and to stop the town centre becoming an "endless parade of chain coffeehouses and takeaways". Neither Epping candidates, including Anderson won seats, causing the party to dissolve.
Due to no
Loughton seats being contested in this cycle, no Loughton Residents Association
councillors were up for election, and hence did not change in number.
