Mrs Lissimore said: "The work NEPP has been doing to improve road safety and tackle dangerous parking around schools, with the 3PR and Park Safe Schools project, is excellent to see and is just one of the many initiatives I am proud now to be involved with. I look forward to seeing it’s growth in the future.
“The development NEPP has made in the last ten years, since it was founded, is admirable and to be a part of the future of the organisation is a great honour.”
Epping Forest Council member Sam Kane has been chosen as the deputy chair.
