HGGT Director, Naisha Polaine, has joined Robert Halfon MP in commenting on the announcement from Government yesterday that confirmed funding for a new Princess Alexandra Hospital for Harlow.
Harlow MP Robert Halfon said: “It is an historic day for Harlow as our new hospital is confirmed with its start date for construction works to begin.
“Most fair-minded people will understand that the project was delayed due to the severe impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic, but I have always pledged to protect our NHS and have campaigned tirelessly in Parliament for over a decade to secure a new Harlow hospital.
“I made this pledge at the 2019 General Election, and the Government has confirmed the funding, the construction start date and the construction method.”
Harlow & Gilston Garden Towns Director Naisha Polaine added: “This is brilliant news and congratulations to everyone involved with the Princess Alexandra Hospital who have been so committed in securing a much-needed new medical facility for Harlow.
“We continue to secure benefits for residents already living in Harlow, and the Garden Town residents yet to come, with more millions being invested to continue to improve the quality of life for local residents.”
Princess Alexandra Hospital’s preferred location is close to both the new Junction 7a of the M11 and the proposed East Harlow neighbourhood planned for the Harlow & Gilston Garden Town.
