OUR Epping office - which deals with editorial for the Epping Forest Guardian, and the Harlow and Bishop's Stortford Citizen - is experiencing problems with its telephones today.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause as callers may find themselves cut off in mid-conversation, or may not be able to get through, instead either hearing an engaged tone or a number unavailable tone.

Instead of ringing the main office number, or any of the direct dial numbers for our editorial team, please can anyone wanting to contact editorial you ring 07824 530131 or 07710 447868.
