Basildon Market has now moved to St Martin's Square. The old market site will be the new Basildon College which is currently under construction

The "Pea Field" has been closed to public access as part of the planned Taylor Wimpey development, fencing has gone up at the Oakapple Lane end with barriers stretching across the field in line with the borough boundaries. The North Pole Lane access point, near the allotments and along the bridleway is still accessible. I'm unsure if this is a permanent closure or temporary whilst works are carried out
