As Harlow’s Council Tax bills and housing rent letters are hitting doormats any day now, we have published a video to update you on our budget for the year ahead.

This year Harlow Council will freeze its share of the Council Tax bill for the third year running and we will invest millions to:

  • Transform our housing
  • Renew our neighbourhoods
  • Rebuild our town
  • Secure investment for Harlow's future
  • Protect our communities 
  • Deliver high-performing council services
