Rivers Parish Council, a group of seven parish councilors representing Toot Hill, Clatterford End, Stanford Rivers and Little End. Clatterford End itself doesn't have a parish councillor exclusively for the hamlet. The parish council organises events including the Country Show. Community The hamlet is one of the smallest in the area, and the smallest in the Stanford Rivers parish. It has an estimated population of 50, many of whom are farmers. The hamlet has no shops or facilities, apart from one post-box, but consists of a small cluster of houses in one area with a number of scattered farms to the east and west. The hamlet is surrounded by arable fields used by the several farms which surround the area. It is situated near Toot Hill Country Show which has taken place each year since 1953, which occurs on the first Saturday in August. The hamlet also has panoramic views of the Essex countryside. Aside from these features, Clatterford End is near the location of a sighting of the 'Beast of Ongar', a legendary 'panther-like' creature the size of a big cat, spotted in a field between Clatterford End and Stanford Rivers. Transport Bus Currently, the road running through Clatterford End is too narrow and weak to support the weight of a bus. The nearest bus stop is in the village of Toot Hill, to the west. These buses operate from Ongar to Epping, Epping to Harlow or Ongar to Harlow. Train The nearest station to Clatterford End is Epping which is served by the Central line. The closest National Rail service is from Harlow Town, which is served by the West Anglia Main Line and is operated by Abellio Greater Anglia. Previously, the nearest station was Blake Hall (which lies between North Weald and Ongar stations), opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 1 April 1865, serving principally as a goods yard carrying agricultural produce from the nearby farms into London. Steam locomotives operated by British Railways for the Underground ran a shuttle service from Epping to Ongar, stopping at Blake Hall, from 1949 until 1957, when the line was electrified and taken over by the Underground's Central line. On 18 April 1966 the goods yard was closed and Blake Hall became a dedicated passenger station. On 17 October 1966, Sunday services were withdrawn. London Underground closed the station on 31 October 1981 due to a lack of custom.
