Eleanor Laing MP: "Election results show confidence in the controlling Conservative group"

Eleanor Laing has welcomed the Epping Forest local election results.

She said: "Things have changed around here since the Conservatives took control and I'm absolutely delighted to see that we have gained more seats today and that shows that people want a Conservative council to pursue the policies that they are pursuing.

"Conservative councillors work very hard to get our council tax down and our services at a good level, and that's clearly what matters most to people."
