Basildon Borough Council’s Corporate Plan sets out a bold vision for the future, reflecting a commitment to delivering high-quality services while driving transformation and fostering pride in the Borough. As Basildon marks its 75th anniversary, it remains a place of ambition and opportunity, but challenges such as housing shortages, economic pressures, and inequality require action. The Council is determined to lead the way, working with the Government and partners to secure investment, create opportunities, and support residents to thrive. Guided by the principle “Believe in Basildon Borough”, this plan is built on four key ambitions to shape a brighter, more resilient future.

Our four Corporate Plan ambitions

Our three Corporate Plan ambitions, the strategic themes for our work, are defined as follows:

People

• People – Supporting happier, healthier, and safer communities where everyone feels they belong.

• Places – Creating high-quality homes, green spaces, and vibrant towns across our six unique areas.

• Promise – Driving economic growth, better education, and more opportunities for residents to thrive.

• Public Service – Delivering ambitious, modern services residents can trust and be proud of

Developed through extensive consultation, the plan responds to local priorities such as cleaner streets, safer neighbourhoods, and better infrastructure. It aligns with national strategies to support economic growth, sustainability, and social mobility.

Together, we will build a borough where everyone has the opportunity to prosper, feel proud, and believe in Basildon’s future.
