Statement from Essex Police
WE have authorised a dispersal order for part of a hamlet in Epping Forest following reports of a large, unauthorised, gathering.
The gathering is in clear breach of the Government’s Covid-19 regulations, and we need to do everything we can to protect our NHS workers, who continue to work tirelessly to keep the people of our county safe from coronavirus.
The dispersal order in Sewardstonebury began at 12:40am today, Friday 1 January, and will end at 12pm this afternoon.
It covers the areas outlined on the map below and allows our officers to move anyone on from the area to prevent anti-social behaviour, crime or disorder.
The dispersal order covers Bury Road between the junction of Daws Hill and Rangers Road. It also includes Gillwell Lane, Farm End, Woodman Lane and Hornbeam Lane.
If you are in the area and suspect anyone of breaking the dispersal order, please call 101. Always call 999 in an emergency.
