As Member of Parliament for Epping Forest, Dr Hudson has worked closely to support Essex Police.
Dr Hudson, as a Shadow DEFRA Minister has also held the Government to account for its lack of response to tackling rural and semi-rural crime like fly-tipping, and the real risk to poses to the natural environment and biodiversity of Epping Forest.

The Conservative Party’s plan to take back our streets focuses on restoring order, supporting the police to act decisively, and ensuring that visible rule-breaking no longer goes unchallenged. Conservatives will:
- Recruit 10,000 extra police officers and deploy hotspot patrolling across the 2,000 highest-crime neighbourhoods.
- Roll out Live Facial Recognition in crime hotspots to catch wanted criminals.
- Bring in “Immediate Justice “for low-level offences.
- Crack down on cannabis
- Curb dangerous e-bikes and e-scooters on pavements, mandating police intervention and strengthening penalties.
- Stamp out ghost plates that evade ANPR, enabling organised crime, dangerous driving and wider lawlessness.
The Conservative plan will restore visible policing, back officers to act decisively, and ensure that crime and anti-social behaviour face real consequences.
Dr Neil Hudson, MP for Epping Forest, commented:
“I wholeheartedly welcome that under Kemi Badenoch, the Conservatives are supporting a safe and secure Epping Forest, siding with the law-abiding majority against low-level crime.”
“Our plan is just what we need to tackle crimes like burglary, shoplifting, drug crime, as well as rural and semi-rural crime like fly-tipping and antisocial behaviour where Labour are unfortunately letting us down.
“I particularly welcome the Conservative future commitment to 303 extra police officers for Essex, which will be a real shot in the arm for our dedicated police to keep communities safe.”
Chris Philp MP, Shadow Home Secretary, said:
“Low-level disorder chips away at the everyday civility that holds communities together. Conservatives say enough.
“People are sick of graffiti plaguing their streets, sick of shoplifting, open drug use. It creates the feeling that the rules no longer apply.
“Our plan will enforce the law through visible policing, real consequences and officers empowered to act.”
