Similar sort of town: new, crap, near an airport, full of chavs.

I go to Harlow! I live in Epping forest (well, not IN the forest but a town near by). Anyway I go to college in Harlow, and in the last month the Tories (Robert Halfon) have had a very very strong campaign, posters and signs are everywhere. You cannot move without seeing another poster 'vote tory' written all over the town. By contrast I have hardly seen a labour poster although the MP has been around the town a lot, i have seen him at least twice. Harlow it-self looks very labour but it is surrounded by rich areas that affect the vote. So its very close. Anyway, they will declare tomorrow as a recount was halted as people were too tired.
As for epping forest, it now was a majority of over 30% for the conservatives. and almost 2000 votes for the BNP. We have the reserve of harlow as this town would be labour (properly, close though) but we are bundled in with chigwell, Loughton and a lot of rich areas so....
