New Homes Bonus means bonus for Harlow Council

It is great news that Harlow Council is to receive almost £500,000 from the Government’s New Homes Bonus scheme.The authority will get a total of £442,473 which will fund essential community services, and pay for more affordable housing in the town.
The New Homes Bonus is a powerful, simple and transparent incentive for housing growth and is a key part of the Government’s housing growth focus for our national housing strategy.
Locally I have been campaigning for ten years to bring more affordable housing into Harlow and his financial contribution will go some way to achieving this.

  1. Does this mean the council will at last be able to afford the few pounds cost of Kier Harlow applying weed killer at Bush Fair? This basic job, vital to the safety of pedestrians, has not been done for over a year. Pavements outside BF's shops are turning into grassy lawns and obstacle courses due to the size and number of the grass and moss 'cushions' growing through the cracks. The weeds all round Bush Fair and it's delivery areas are 2' to 4' high !
