Supporting the Economy

We have amazing and diverse businesses right across Epping Forest that we all use, enjoy and depend upon. Small businesses are vital to our local economy, providing jobs, services and opportunities to folk. In our towns and villages, they provide character and colour to our streets. 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.
