Latest newsletter - Update on Harlow Jobs Fair
Looking for work? Harlow Jobs Fair - Some good news for Harlow on jobs. Under the Conservative-led Government, we have seen falling unemployment in Harlow in every single month this year. Over 500 new jobs have come back to our town. This is fantastic news and we should be proud of it. The BBC have also said Harlow has the fastest business growth - not just in England, but across the whole country.

Scientific boost for Harlow - The announcement that a new £10m scientific centre will be based in Harlow is very good news for the town.
The site will be at the GSK plant and will replace the laboratories there which are currently involved with the Olympic drug testing procedures.
The centre will receive £10m of funding over the next five years and represents a huge boost for scientific research in Harlow. It follows other significant investment in the town, most notably our biotech Enterprise Zone and the new University Technical College that will open on the Harlow College campus in 2014.
Heart4Harlow - There was a special Heart4Harlow event in the Park which was brought together by charismatic Town Chaplain Robert Findlay.
Faith communities across Harlow came together to create a special afternoon of music, prayer and a celebration of the Olympics.
Former Paralympian Ann Wafula Strike made a speech as to what Harlow meant to her. Olympian Torch Bearer Mike Jackson, also took to the stage. Read more
