Supporting the Economy

NH Waltham Abbey

We have amazing and diverse businesses right across Epping Forest that we all use, enjoy and depend upon.

I will work with local businesses and entrepreneurs and champion their cause with ministers in Government so that they have a favourable economic environment, free from red tape to allow them to grow.
