2022 was a year in which we shifted the dial for regeneration in Harlow. 2023 will be a year of delivery - only made possible by fantastic support of local councillors, some truly first class council officials and huge investment secured by @halfon4harlowMP .

In March, the LGA laid bare the challenges that Harlow Council faced. When I became Leader I said we would transform the Council and what it delivered. That’s exactly what the LGA team found on their recent visit: But this is just the start.

An honour to host our first Gems of Harlow reception last night with the @ChairofHC in recognition @HarlowRugby ’s truly outstanding season. You brought home the truth about us and about our town, that when we put our minds to it, there is no limit to what Harlow can achieve.

We are the first ever council to take legal action against national developers for failing to meet their promised section 106 community facilities. We now have an historic legally binding agreement to see these promises delivered without further delay.

In 1947, Harlow pioneered the way as a New Town followed by the creation of the NHS a year later. We were the first town in Britain to have a dedicated health centre and have been served ever since by fantastic GPs in every neighbourhood and of course the incredible @NHSHarlow .

Great piece in The Times from @WhiteHatGB . As one of their own, the first to work for an MP, I can say hand on heart they are the best provider out there. Leading the way, challenging perceptions, but more importantly offering so much more than a qualification. This is it👇
