Police Issue Update as Further Protests Announced for Essex Town

  • Essex Police issued an update on July 28 announcing a robust policing operation and designated sites for lawful protests opposite The Bell Hotel in Epping.
  • The update follows recent unrest involving anti-migrant protests outside The Bell Hotel, which houses asylum seekers and has seen clashes since mid-July.
  • The policing strategy involves prohibiting masks, empowering officers to break up demonstrations, imposing a curfew on protest activities by 8pm, and seeks to reduce disturbances in the community.
  • Since the protests started, authorities have taken 18 individuals into custody and brought charges against ten for disorderly conduct, with Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper affirming ongoing support for peaceful demonstrations.
  • The policing operation suggests ongoing efforts to balance community safety and residents’ concerns with upholding lawful protest rights amid escalating tensions in Epping.
