New position

Lee Dangerfield, along with his new role as a county councillor, has been made Chairman of the Housing Committee on Harlow Council.
This committee sets all policy for Housing within Harlow; which includes Sheltered Housing.
Lee Dangerfield said
“I am proud to have been given one of the most important positions on Harlow Council. Staple Tye residents have long expressed to me their concerns about housing issues; particularly the time it takes to re-let empty properties and the fairness in the allocation of council houses.
I am pleased to report that we have a great Housing Team which is seriously focused on delivering a better service for Staple Tye residents.
However, the fact of the matter is we don't have enough social housing in Harlow. We are working closely with the government, housing associations and private developers to increase the availability of new homes. But any new development has to be right for Harlow and must have the necessary infrastructure such as roads, shops and schools.
Staple Tye residents can be assured that I will be reviewing every area of the housing department to identify the changes needed to improve our service to Harlow people”
