Borough Profile 22 • People • Place • Prosperity 4 CORPORATE PLAN 2021-24 MESSAGE FROM THE LEADER OF THE COUNCIL Councillor Andrew Baggott Our new Corporate Plan gives the council a fresh vision and a renewed purpose. It sets out three strategic themes of people, place, and prosperity which I am committed to deliver – creating a borough with inclusive communities, a high quality of life and a thriving economy. The impact of the pandemic will have a lasting effect on us all. COVID-19 has touched every one of us and the council must adapt to deliver services in a post-pandemic environment. We will need to change how we operate, allowing residents to be able to request services more easily. We will need to automate and simplify systems to enable lasting change across the borough. The financial impact of the pandemic cannot be understated and will impact on our finances for many years to come. However, we will look to provide services in different ways to reduce our spending. We will generate more income through our commercial activity, grow the activity of Sempra Homes and generate new ideas to deliver more efficiencies. I also recognise though that, as we emerge from the pandemic, it is time to look to the future rather than be anchored to the past. I am committed that we will deliver on our key themes by listening to you. We will consult openly and honestly, and if you tell us it isn’t right then we will listen and adapt. We have an exciting vision for Basildon, you have passionate ideas for Basildon. Together, we can create a borough that you, our residents are at the heart of. CORPORATE PLAN 2021-24 5 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Scott Logan Our new Corporate Plan sets out our vision for delivering for the residents of Basildon over the next four years. As we recover from the impact of COVID-19 we need to build on the changes that we have made to deliver services through a global pandemic. Over the past 18 months we have delivered services with more flexibility and continued to put individuals at the heart of what we do. We need to build on this over the next four years and ensure that we are an organisation that is fit for purpose. As part of our journey we will be reviewing our services, ensuring that the council is easy and efficient to deal through new channels. Our residents and businesses will be key to this process and we will actively listen and shape our services to your requirements. We need to ensure that we have robust financial management in place and that we explore new streams of funding where possible. We will strengthen existing and establish new partnerships to ensure that we deliver efficient services. In addition, we will strengthen our governance arrangements through our service reviews and will introduce a new robust performance management framework. There will be many challenges ahead as the country adapts to the new normal following COVID-19. Basildon is in a good place to meet these challenges but we must ensure that as an organisation we are fit to deliver first class services in the future. I am confident that this plan gets us on this journey. 6 CORPORATE PLAN 2021-24 1. BASILDON – OUR BOROUGH AND YOUR COUNCIL OUR BOROUGH The Borough of Basildon was formed as Basildon are from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) District on 1 April 1974, from the former area of communities.

CORPORATE PLAN PURPOSE & AIMS This Corporate Plan is the principal corporate strategy of Basildon Borough Council. It sets out our ambitions for the organisation and the borough by three ambitions, our strategic themes. It details the outcomes we wish to achieve, the actions we will take to deliver them and how we will resource the necessary activity. It covers the full range of the council’s responsibilities and priorities and is an important tool to help focus our effort and resources on the right things. This is even more important in the context of constrained budgets and rapid change. The council is committed to ensuring good governance principles and management practices are adopted in all business activities to ensure public trust. The Local Code of Governance provides a public statement that sets out the way in which the council will meet and demonstrate that commitment. The council commits in its Local Code of Corporate Governance to “maintain a Corporate Plan… which outlines its ambitions and promises to our residents, and shows how the council will use its resources to deliver these.” By articulating a clear set of ambitions and commitments, the Corporate Plan also helps residents to hold the council to account for its performance and challenge it to improve. The Corporate Plan informs other key strategies and plans, whether council documents or those of our partners. These documents vary widely in purpose, scope and time horizon. The Corporate Plan does not replace these other documents but it should shape them whenever they are being updated. Good strategic planning also means aligning financial and service planning.

    AGENDA ITEM ..............7b................ DR/44/12 committee DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATION date 23 November 2012 VILLAGE GREEN APPLICATION Application to register land known as Kent View Road recreation ground, Kent View Road, Vange, Basildon as a town or village green Report by County Solicitor Enquiries to Jacqueline Millward Tel: 01245 506710 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT To consider an application made on by Mr N E Hart of 88 Kent View Road, Vange, Basildon under Section 15 of the Commons Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”) , to register land at Kent View Road Recreation Ground, Vange as a town or village green. 2. BACKGROUND TO THE APPLICATION The County Council has a duty to maintain the Registers of Commons and Town and Village Greens. Under Section 15 of the 2006 Act applications can be made to the Registration Authority to amend the Register to add new town or village greens. The County Council as Registration Authority has received an application made by local resident Mr Hart to register the application site as a Town or Village Green under the provisions of Section 15(2) of the 2006 Act. The twenty year period for the application is 1990 to 2010. The application was advertised in the local press and on site. Notice was also served on landowners. The County Council received objections to the application from the landowner, Basildon Borough Council. Prior to the advertisement the landowner had made representations that it had ‘appropriated’ the land from open space so that it could obtain planning permission and dispose of the land. The appropriation took place on 19 July 2010 for planning purposes under section 122(2A) Local Government Act 1972, including the prescribed publicity in the local press, in response to which no objections were received.

There is so much pleasure to be gained from exchanging news and information with fellow collectors in a friendly environment, watching visiting displays, bidding in Auctions, displaying one’s own collection, etc., with access to the expertise of fellow members and the reference books from our extensive library. We meet at George Hurd Centre, just off Broadmayne, usually on the first Monday and third Tuesday of the month, at 7.30pm for 7.45pm. Why not come along?

  • War Memorials in Basildon Borough Booklet
    War Memorials In Basildon Borough Foreword War Memorials serve as a physical reminder of the sacrifice of those who fought for their country in conflicts throughout history. This booklet is designed to raise awareness of different memorial sites which provide a link to the past and method of remembrance in the Basildon Borough. This booklet provides a guide to the borough’s war memorials including locations, photographs, the design and materials used and information on who initiated and funded them. Remembering those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom and providing loved ones with somewhere they can pay tribute to the fallen is not just important in the present. We must continue to preserve these sites for future generations so they too can learn about the darkest of times in our history and the sacrifices made by those who did not live to see the freedom we enjoy today. Cllr Kevin Blake Deputy Leader and cabinet member for leisure and arts at Basildon Council, Basildon Borough Council 2014 Introduction In addition to those mentioned in this booklet, there are many more Memorials around the Borough from both World Wars to be found in Churches as Rolls of Honours, Plaques and Memorial stones either inside the Churches, on the outside walls or in the grave yards. There are also Memorial Halls around the Borough which were built as memorials to the local fallen, these were an alternative to stone memorials as they could be used by the community to make friends and to hold celebrations. Plaques and names can usually be found within the Memorial Hall buildings.
