At four o'clock at the Civic Centre, I join Harlow's Fairtrade Town Group to celebrate the fact that Harlow has been awarded Fairtrade Town status. The award is a reflection of the years of hard work put into this by the group, and particularly Cllr Rob Eschle, one of its most vociferous supporters.
Rob and I both give interviews to Ten-17 radio, and both make the same point that it's becoming easier and easier to buy more and more Fairtrade goods in local supermarkets, cafés and shops.
We have a group photo taken with the official certificate. The next big decision will be where to hang the certificate so that it's on permanent display to Harlow residents visiting the Civic Centre.
