Harlow is set in the heart of the beautiful Essex and Hertfordshire countryside. Careful planning ensures the town sustains a balance between the needs of business and the environment. The town maintains a rural atmosphere with over one third of land devoted to parks, woodlands, ponds and open spaces.

 

Environmental Services deals with a range of functions concerned with protecting and improving the environment of the district. One of our key aims is to create a cleaner and greener district, in order to ensure that the highest quality environment is enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.

Through initiatives like the Together we can…clean up our town programme we are achieving attractive and cleaner streets, neighbourhoods and open spaces….places people are proud to live in and visit. We are also developing sustainable waste management through recycling and waste minimisation and working hard to deal with graffiti and flytipping that impact on the local environment.
