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?

In November 2005, the residents of Wickford were pleased to be consulted about the proposed Wickford Masterplan, which was going to regenerate and transform the town centre. According to Basildon Council, who organised the consultation, the residents were broadly in favour of the plan, and in April 2006, the Council approved it.

We’re now 4 years on, and look what’s happened…
We’ve got 4 new blocks of 135 flats completed or nearing completion, but where are all the benefits?

   Promised benefits       What we got
  • Wickford re-invented as a lifestyle centre
  • Atmosphere of vitality and vibrancy
  • Street market
  • Café culture
  • Creating attractive public spaces
  • 4 multi-story blocks of flats
