We are an independent, non-political
group of Wickford residents anxious to ensure that the proposed
developments under the Wickford Town Centre Masterplan,
whilst offering definite improvements, are not implemented
regardless of cost or damage to the town or the environment.

What happened to the Wickford Masterplan? Now we know!
SHELVED |
On
24th February 2010 Basildon Council announced they had pulled
out of of negotiations with the last remaining bidder for the

pool, library and community centre, build a new health centre, move the market
into the High Street and transform the town centre into tree
lined boulevards and public squares have been postponed indefinitely.
