THE wonderful surroundings of the Harlow Town Park was the venue for the launch of the Essex-wide livewell campaign.

Supported by a large number of local authorities across the county, the health and well being campaign aims to get more residents living healthier lives.

Our cameras went down to see the opening speeches by the chair of Harlow Council, cllr Maggie Hulcoop, the chair of Health and Well-Being, cllr Ian Beckett and the portfolio holder for communities, cllr Eugenie Harvey.

Before the meeting, we also spoke to former Paralympian and equalities campaigner, Anne Wafula-Strike.
