To serve the public takes dignity and intelligence, attributes which seem to be missing from some members of Basildon Council.

Are they on a roller coaster from which they cannot escape?

The master plan for Basildon is going to be astronomical cost-wise.

Plans will be submitted for the first homes, which are “vital to provide initial funding for the regeneration”.

Here we go again, selling off land, so nowhere will be safe, not even the green belt.

According to the Echo, the council spent £3million upgrading its building, which it is now talking of pulling down. What is going on? In a so-called recession, it doesn’t make sense.
