Bush Fair cleaned up and repainted as part of restoring pride

Published date

Harlow Council has recently completed works to spruce up Bush Fair shopping centre.

The works have been funded by the council's Estate Renewal Fund, which goes towards projects aimed at restoring pride in the town’s estates and neighbourhoods.

Within the shopping centre, the railings and steps have been repainted and the tiled walls have been cleaned. HTS and Whitbreads have also repaired broken slabs on the steps. New benches, bins and bollards have now been installed and the plant beds will also be replanted in the autumn. The underpass, which goes under Southern Way, has also been given much needed attention with a repaint, the potholes filled and new lighting.

Councillor Dan Swords, Leader of Harlow Council, said:

“We said we would restore pride in Harlow, and we continue to deliver improvements around the town. Bush Fair is looking much better following all the work there and much more welcoming. 

"These small improvements are making a positive difference, but our work doesn't stop there. I look forward to sharing more about our Estate Renewal fund programme as projects are completed around the town.”
