Education, Wellbeing & Community
A Vision for Inclusive Growth in Basildon
Join us for a community event exploring the future of Basildon - bringing together residents, educators and local organisations to discuss how long-term planning, education, wellbeing and infrastructure can support inclusive growth for everyone.
Basildon is a town with strong communities, growing opportunity and an important future ahead.
This event provides an opportunity to learn more about the role of the Local Plan and how it can support sustainable growth, wellbeing and opportunity across the town.
As part of this initiative, we are pleased to welcome the involvement of a local wellness and fitness centre and a specialist SEN school, bringing valuable perspectives on health, wellbeing and inclusive education into the conversation.
The aim is simple: to share information, listen to local perspectives and consider how our town can grow in a way that benefits the whole community.

Why This Event Matters
Like many growing towns, Basildon faces important questions about housing, infrastructure, education and wellbeing.
A Local Plan helps guide how the town develops over time, shaping where homes, schools, services and community facilities are located, and how infrastructure supports future generations.
This event is not about political debate or campaigning. Instead, it focuses on understanding the role of long-term planning and listening to the voices of the community.
Key topics we'll explore include:
-
Education and opportunities for young people
-
Community wellbeing and active lifestyle
-
Infrastructure and sustainable growth
-
Supporting inclusive development across Basildon
Shaping the Future Together
Every community evolves and planning for that change is essential.
The Local Plan is one of the key tools that helps guide how Basildon develops, from homes and schools to green spaces and community facilities.
This event is an opportunity to better understand that process and consider how future growth can reflect the needs, priorities and wellbeing of the people who live here.
