Basildon is already home to a number of big name and smaller specialist stores. In the 80’s and early 90’s, the town centre was ranked in the top ten in the country and the planned regeneration will help to take Basildon back to the top of shopping destinations in the East.

The Eastgate Centre has recently undergone a £15 million refurbishment, so shoppers are already blessed with an abundance of retail choice. But the shopping environment could be better, and our development partner will set about creating new shopping areas, set around new garden and public squares. By March 2009, a number of minor improvements will also have been made through the ‘interim works’, with new benches, lampposts and bins adding to a more appealing street scene.

And lets not forget Basildon Market, a real focus of our community. The market is vital to the future of the town centre, and though it is envisaged the market will move in the longer term, we will be working with market traders who can help us to design a flexible market more in tune for a 21st century town.
