“Facing redundancy is an awful experience for anyone. The Council was glad to be able to help Harlow residents earlier in the week by working with our JobCentre Plus partners and other agencies to organise an advice session. This is something we always do when there are large-scale redundancies in the Town. Further redundancies at Comet have since been announced and we are now extending our help by holding a second session”.
