Seen they've given it a fresh lick of paint, since I was a kid and lived there during the 80's. Born in Basikdon (1978), moved to Southend (1989). Used to live just off of Clayhill Rd, Vange, North Crockerford. Such fun, fun times as a kid.

That was a serene trip around Basildon, on a nice day. It's not the Basildon I remember from the 90s, but could be great again with a makeover which respects the original design. Spruce up everything. No idea about the empty shops, though. People have to want to open businesses.

I grew up in Basildon. Sadly, it is now a shadow of its former self. Needs levelling and starting again.

The council do try to invigorate Basildon but shopping habits have changed and that’s a lot of shops to fill. Bringing the college down was a good idea but building so many flats may not be wise,unless planning is done well. Basildon has lots of potential. I hope it works out.

seen a drone shot of Basildon town centre and there was what seemed to be a bunch of houses built on top of the flat roof of a giant building, anyone got any more information about this ?

Looks ok on a nice day with the sun shining, the town has been hit hard by many retailers going bust many having stores in the town Wilko , Debenhams, BHS, Top Shop, Laura Ashley, Maplin, Toys r us, Mothercare and shopping habits have changed with all the online retailers. Eastgate shopping centre is ok but can't compete with Lakeside In the 70s and 80s Basildon was the place to shop, those days are long gone, like many high streets in the UK crime and yob culture have taken over, Basildon has its problems but no worse than anywhere else.
