The Street Scene Priority Taskforce, launched by Harlow Council, will focus on removing old signs, damaged railings, and other neglected street furniture.
Harlow Council’s cabinet member for environment Cllr Nicky Purse said: “We are renewing our neighbourhoods – street by street, estate by estate.
“This taskforce is about restoring pride and delivering on our promise to renew every corner of our town.
“Residents told us they were fed up with damaged railings, old signs and neglected areas being left untouched – so we’ve taken action.”
A pilot programme earlier this year saw more than 600 clean-up jobs completed in just a few months.
The team will now work permanently across Harlow, including removing abandoned signs, clearing leftover roadwork materials, and repairing or replacing broken street furniture.
Cllr Purse said: “By stepping in to fix even the jobs that normally fall outside our remit, we’re showing that Harlow won’t wait around – we’re building our future now.”
The taskforce is part of the council’s wider efforts to improve the look and feel of the town, including litter removal, graffiti clearance, and deep cleaning of estates.
