[edit] People

People have lived in Harlow for many years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DJH (talk • contribs) 19:16, 27 October 2004.

article fails to mention some of the famous people who were born or lived in Harlow. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.253.128.12 (talk • contribs) 22:47, 7 July 2005.

Nice to read that Victoria Beckham née Adams is supposed to have lived here, but it seems she was only born in Princess Alexandra Hospital, like my sister, growing up in Goff's Oak, Herts., tho. The article on her has had the reference to Harlow taken out again...

[edit] Politics

There's a whole lot of a politics here and little of anything else... for a good comparison article, try reading about Harlow's (superior :D) rival town Bishop's Stortford. This article says a lot about the district, and nothing about the town at it's core. AKismet 01:45, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Essex

How comes the essex area has been blocked? Or is it only to me? Simply south 15:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Just me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Simply south (talk • contribs) 22:00, 7 October 2006.

[edit] Population

Under demographics it says population 77,000 for 1999, which sounds precise. I'm sure that was already about the size when I lived there in the 70s and 80s. But on the left it says 90,000 - can that then be right for 2006? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.136.25.76 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 6 October 2006.

According to the Office of National Statistics the population at the 2001 census was 78,899 up from 74,629 in 1991. Nomis estimates the population in 2005 to be 77,700 down from 78,800 in 2001 which it places as the highest it had been since the early 80s. Callum 21:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

AND AMINA HANOUTI LIVE THERE LOL

I doubt the ethinicity figures are correct. I was born in Harlow and recently went back there. I was surprised at how bad its got. It looks more like Lagos now, I think about 20% of the population is African immigrants (probably asylum seekers)

[edit] Environment

"Each estate is also separated by open space, and the entire town is in the." Incomplete. What might have been intended?
