Mr Halfon has been working closely for many months with Harlow College to prepare a bid Tell us your news... to bring a University Technical College to Harlow. Publicise your event... There is a groundswell of local support for this bid. Promote your business... The organisations to publicly back the bid now include Harlow District Council, Harlow Have your say... Chambers of Commerce, Essex FSB, the Chartered Institute of Journalists, Pearson UK, a Buy copies of photos that appear here... number of local engineering firms and the Joint Contracts Tribunal Ltd. These local employers have added their weight to the bid, after Mr Halfon also secured the email: [email protected] backing of Prime Minister David Cameron and Education Secretary Michael Gove (who call: David Jackman on 07710 447868 has promised to visit Harlow College this autumn to see how the plans are progressing). The bid is due to be submitted on Wednesday June 1st 2011. Mr Halfon said: "I have worked very hard on this for over a year helping Harlow College with their plans for a new University Technical College. "If we get this it would transform the lives of young Harlow people." He added: "I have done this because I am passionate about giving young people opportunities and skills, and helping them to get good jobs. "I am also passionate about social justice. A University Technical College together with a growth in apprenticeships will help achieve this. "My commitment to young people and apprenticeships is why I employed the first ever MP's apprentice - a local lad from Harlow College called Andy Huckle." The Harlow University Technical College (UTC) - will be a brand new type of college specialising in high tech subjects such as in engineering and media / journalism. The UTC would take students aged 14 to 19 and would focus on their preparation for the world of work and higher education and on ensuring they gain the best possible qualifications. The project, which would be due to open in September 2013, would also bring several million pounds of investment into the town benefiting many small and medium-sized firms. Harlow Council leader Andrew Johnson said: "Harlow's educational credentials are becoming stronger all the time with improving results and a new university building taking shape. "The University Technical College will make the town even more attractive to employers, as Harlow will be able to offer a pool of students with high quality technical skills absolutely right for the jobs market. "It will make us a significant location for students not just from Harlow, but Hertfordshire and further afield and represent a multi-million pound investment in the town. We are fully behind this exciting bid." The Government is expected to approve up to 24 UTCs across the country. The colleges will offer qualifications ranging from apprenticeships to vocational training in subjects like plumbing, health science, journalism, engineering and construction.

Man injured in "unprovoked" attack 27th May 2011 A MAN was hit over the head with a crow bar when two men wearing balaclavas forced the front door of a home in Harlow. The man suffered a cut to his head in the incident which happened at Spring Hills at 11pm on Sunday, May 8. Details of the incident have only just been made public. The two white men left empty-handed. The victim was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow, where he received five stitches. Investigating officer Detective Constable Kev Winn said: "This was an unprovoked attack and we are keen to speak with the people responsible. If you saw anything please contact me." Anyone with any information should contact DC Winn at Harlow Police Station on 0300 333 4444 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Newhall wins architectural award 26th May 2011 HOMES designed by Richard Murphy Architects have again led the way with another architectural award for the Newhall development, Harlow. The latest accolade comes in the 2011 RIBA Awards. 05/07/2011 Everything Harlow Page 2 of 8 The homes form part of North Chase at Newhall which consists of 127 homes in a mix of apartments, townhouses, detached houses and flexible live-work units. North Chase forms a key function of the master planner’s strategy to recreate a market town, by providing the first part of Newhall’s central hub with the shops and restaurant elements necessary for a successful community. The judges wrote: "There is an optimism at Newhall that attempts to create communities that look beyond the ubiquitous ‘executive homes’ surrounded by suburban gardens and a car to mark your front door.? "The development of the Studio REAL masterplan places housing generally at right angles to the roads, creating walled lanes. Richard Murphy builds on his idea using largely single aspect houses where the blind back wall of each house helps to create the enclosure for a private walled garden for its neighbour. "This allows the garden to have a direct relationship to the living space without being overlooked, yet still retains a feeling of space. "This is precisely the sort of thinking that should be encouraged from other housing." MS branch celebrates success 26th May 2011 A REPORT on the past year was given to more than 70 people who attended the annual meeting of the East Herts and West Essex branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Retiring chairman Mark Gammage spoke of a number of achievements in the year particularly the enlargement of the MS Support Team giving assistance to the MS community. It is estimated there are more than 1,000 people with MS in the area. Additionally the branch had been working hard to provide supplementary specialist-led physiotherapy and exercise for people with MS and it is anticipated this should become available within a month or two. The branch donated £8,000 to the MS National Centre for its programme of research into MS. This money is surplus to the funds the branch has raised to provide its own programme of services. The cheque was received by MS Society Operations Department staff member Mary Lowthian, Guest speaker at the meeting at Hatfield Heath Village Hall was consultant neurologist, Dr Mohammed Sharief, from Colchester Hospital, who spoke about ‘Emerging Treatments for MS’ detailing the prospects of a future cure and eventual prevention of this debilitating neurological condition. He feels that having spent 25 years in his work with MS this is the most promising time he has experienced and that research is rapidly coming closer to finding a cure. Branch vice-chairman Peter ‘Snowy’ Evans, and his wife, Maggie, who is also a branch committee member, were surprised when Mr Gammage presented them each with the society’s merit award for exceptional service, the ‘Shining Star’ award. Mr Gammage thanked all the branch’s volunteers who work tirelessly to raise funds and support those affected by MS. For more about the work of the branch or how to get involved, ring branch volunteer co- ordinator Peter 'Snowy' Evans on 01277 363034. Hospice seeks new trustees 23rd May 2011 ST Clare Hospice is seeking new trustees to join its Board of Directors. St Clare - which serves communities from Harlow, Loughton in the south to Saffron Walden in the north and from Bishop's Stortford in the west to Great Dunmow in the east - is governed by a panel of unpaid trustees who are selected according to their individual skills and experience, the relevance of these to St Clare's activities and their ability to challenge and support their counterparts on the Board. The directors, under a chief executive officer, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the hospice and its services. The trustees monitor the management of the hospice through a number of governance committees each covering a separate directorate or activity of the hospice (for example building, clinical, finance etc). The committees, chaired by appropriately experienced trustees, usually consist of two or three trustees and the lead executive in the discipline being monitored. The governance committees meet once, sometimes twice, a quarter during office hours and report to the Trustee Board which normally meets quarterly outside office hours.

The study’s main findings are summarised below. Harlow Evolution In the early years of the town’s development (1950s and 1960s), Harlow provided an excellent location for homes and businesses and enjoyed a long period of economic growth with the town being home to large employers in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. The town reached its original target population of around 81,000 people in 1974 but was subsequently followed by a period of stagnation and decline with long term reductions in population and falling levels of employment. This coincided with a period of economic stagnation, increased mobility and demographic changes which had an adverse impact on the town. At its lowest point in 1994, Harlow’s population fell to 73,000 people.
