Harlow's Conservative Council has completed the purchase of the derelict Occasio House site to enable the delivery of its plans for the regeneration of the Playhouse Quarter.
The council completed the £1m purchase last week on the same day it bought the Harvey Shopping Centre.
HARLOW's Conservative Council has bought the Harvey Centre for £21m in a deal which sees the authority take more control over the wider regeneration of Harlow town centre.
HARLOW's Conservative led Council has secured £1 million from the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund to invest in a variety of projects in the town over the next three years.
Harlow Council wants to radically overhaul its approach and strengthen its partnership work with local health organisations with the aim of helping residents to lead long, healthy, independent, happy and safe lives.
Making sure residents have a warm place to stay this winter is a present-day need that we are taking steps to respond to. It is a public health issue that the council takes seriously and has decided to confront by providing an additional welcoming communal space for residents to access.
A new programme of maintaining Harlow’s roundabouts is set to be launched early in the new year, which will restore pride with improved maintenance, at no extra cost to the council.
