Summary
- Planning permission granted for a new bandstand in Harlow Town Park.
- The original bandstand was destroyed in an arson attack on September 19.

The Grade II listed Harlow Town Park will soon feature a new bandstand, with planning permission recently granted. The original structure was destroyed in an arson attack overnight on September 19.
Construction for the replacement bandstand is scheduled to commence next week. This new facility is designed with a modern aesthetic, utilizing low-carbon materials. Notably, bricks salvaged from the original fire-damaged bandstand will be incorporated into the new design.
Community input has shaped the design, reflecting the bandstand's heritage while enhancing its scale and resilience for major performances. The council anticipates the bandstand will be ready for use later this year.
