Local Liberal Democrat leader Chris Millington was in Whitehall today, putting Harlow Council's case to ministers to demonstrate how the council is improving. Together with representatives of both the other parties, Chris met government minister Jim Fitzpatrick to discuss Harlow Council's 'recovery'. Chris says:

"A great deal of work has gone into the improvements we've made on the council already. There's much still to do, but at last the council is beginning to head in the right direction."
