Mr invisible, yet to see him in Church Langley after living here 30 years. Definitely not a hands on, get involved with the community person like Nicky Purse.

Just maybe I mean just maybe he could direct some of the funds that have been allocated for pot holes back to Harlow! His dad Eddie changed the speck for what a pot hole is meaning unless its a certain depth its not classed as a pot hole and doesn't get filled! Momples road !

Strange comments as I've seen Andrew Johnson out in various parts of the town leafleting and canvassing. I'm sure he will quickly prove to be an asset at Essex County Council.

Well done to Andrew. Great result by Dan Long - a good third beating both Greens and Lib Dems. Mark Gough - Leader UKIP Harlow

Hopefully a couple of tory councillors will develop a conscience and reject the tory Party. Harlow deserves a decent chance and this man and his accomplices aren't going to manage that!

Seems as though our country is going to be run by, Communists, that’s what Labour have always been.
