An Epping resident has said her children have been unable to play in their garden this summer because of drunk protesters urinating on trees.
The concerned mother, who lives opposite the Bell Hotel said the twice-a-week demos were ‘absolute hell’ and noisy chants were making it impossible to get her baby to sleep at night.
She told BBC Essex: ‘Our life has just changed. We can’t leae the house when the protests are going on. It’s just not an environment for children to be here.
‘It just doesn’t represent Epping and the people that live here.’
The mum said it was ironic that protesters were making her family’s life a misery while claiming to be campaigning to protect women and children from supposedly dangerous migrants.
She said the environment on the road was akin to a ‘festival’ wit
