Harlow MP Robert Halfon is backing local arts group Razed Roof in its attempt to secure £10,000 of National Lottery funding.

The Harlow-based performing arts group is in the running for the windfall but whether or not it receives the money depends on a public vote.

Mr Halfon, who has been delighted to watch Razed Roof on a number of occasions when it has performed at Harlow Playhouse and at the Harlow Fire Station Disability Day, said: "Razed Roof is a really amazing organisation and they deserve all the support possible. Please do vote for them if you have a chance."  He added: "Razed Roof is an inclusive performing arts group which is doing great work in Harlow - work which is being appreciated by a great many local people.
