About
The Council is the primary decision-making body for Epping Forest, responsible for setting the overall direction and policies of the local authority. It approves the Council's Constitution, budget, and key plans and strategies, including the Community Plan. The Council also makes significant appointments, such as the Leader of the Cabinet and committee members, and agrees their terms of reference. It has the power to make and amend bylaws, appoint representatives to external organisations, and confirm the appointment or dismissal of the Head of Paid Service. The Council also oversees community engagement activities.
