THE LABOUR Shadow Housing Minister has given his support to Harlow Council over its campaign against office block conversions.

Steve Reed MP met Harlow Council leader Mark Ingall in Basildon last week.

They were the guests of Basildon Council leader, Gavin Callaghan, who has also been having similar problems.

We spoke to Mr Reed and Cllr Ingall about the talks and what exactly the Labour opposition could do.
