Fellow GAG members:- Last night’s episode of Question time confirmed Basildon as the location for the programme to be screened on July 4th 2013. An excellent opportunity for some nationwide publicity for the GAG campaign and/or a well-crafted question to the panel!! I am unable to find the link for audience participation but perhaps this could be circulated to encourage at least a few attendees for the event. Kind regards, Neil Parsons (Sporhams)

We’ve written about the Dry Street situation in a piece on the Thurrock Heckler that takes a look at what’s wrong with the planning system – http://thurrockheckler.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/the-ethos-of-planning-like-it-or-lump-it/ Granted, our piece probably only scratches the surface of what is wrong but it’s a start!

I attended the meeting on Dry Street. I watched in amazement as people came forward to speak for the protection of this site and Longwood. I watched in horror as Basildon Council dismissed all of these very well prepared speakers. This was sham. They had already made up their minds. This was a done deal. Basildon had made the decision long before the meeting. They are not working for the people of Basildon. I feel that the people of Basildon need to stand firm on this matter. Make your voice heard. Because this will not be the end they will build over all the green space. Stop this now. We must demand they do what the people of Basildon want. That after all is why they were voted in. Or did I get that wrong? God did not give us this planet to destroy.
