If you have any ideas about other ways in which our community could improve our environment or build upon the joint social interests which exist already, please e-mail your thoughts! contact@orra.org.uk Ockendon Road is a special location for several reasons. The trees, and the flower beds which surround them, make it an especially attractive place to live. It's quiet yet there are a wide range of amenities - shops, restaurants, pubs, etc - close by. Residents get together from time to time to ramble in the countryside and for yoga classes, painting and other past-times in which there is a shared interest. This website is intended to make residents aware of the activities which make the road such a good place to live and to encourage others to participate. Ockendon's Milkman Barry loves his job, getting a particular buzz out of early mornings - he thinks it might be his gypsy genes (he is of Romany descent). He's been a milkman for over 25 years, driving in from Bishop Stortford at crack of dawn, which means he can spend the afternoon in the garden with a chilled beer. He's good at quick jokes that don't really bear repeating.
