The impact of the East of England Plan on Harlow and the regeneration of the town are among the key issues facing Harlow this year.

That's the view of local Liberal Democrat leader Chris Millington, who joined his fellow joint leader and Harlow Council planning and regeneration officers for a special meeting with leading local organisations.

The meeting also heard from the chairman of the council about plans to celebrate Harlow's 60th birthday; and from senior council officers about initiatives to tackle crime and about partnership working.
