Shenfield Common
Brentwood of which Shenfield is a part, is a very green Borough
compared with many others. It was originally a clearing in
Epping Forest and to some extent it has retained some parts as
open public spaces, woods and farmland. Nevertheless if one
accepts that it might be a mistake to be complacent then it is
quite right to be on the ball and query everythining which goes
on and where possible be in at the start of things.
It is not suprising therefor to understand the horrified reaction
of some people to the scenes of devastation which suddenly
unfolded in April 2022 in the woods on the Common.
