An extra £100,000 is set to be injected into Harlow Council's budget this year to continue its clean-up programme in local estates and shopping hatches.

Liberal Democrat leader Cllr Chris Millington and environment spokesman Cllr Eleanor Macy see this as one of the Liberal Democrats' top priorities. Chris says:

"Before the Liberal Democrats achieved influence on Harlow Council in 2002, one of the most common complaints from residents was that the town was looking dirty and neglected. Liberal Democrats have always put a clean and well-kept town as one of our top priorities, and over the last four years in which we've helped to run the council, we've lived up to our promise.

With more litter bins and dog bins too, as well as an extension of the estates and hatches clean-up programme, Harlow is well on the way to being a cleaner, more attractive place to live."
