Wickford Market
The Town Council is working in partnership with Basildon Borough Council and Essex County Council to ensure the continuation of the current Market in Wickford High Street.
The Market is a valuable asset to the Town and the Town Council would like this to continue whilst also making improvements.

The Market has been relocated to a temporary location whilst the application for a permanent Traffic Regulation Order is progressed.
Successful Grant Applications
The newly formed Town Council established a Grants Scheme to provide financial support to encourage and assist local groups and organisations to carry out activities for the benefit of Wickford residents.
Successful groups this year are:
Wickford in Bloom £7,500 – to provide hanging baskets, planters and flower beds, which will improve the overall appearance of Wickford particularly in the High Street. Also, to support the purchase of hi-viz clothing, equipment and appropriate insurance cover.
The Town Council will keep residents informed of the status of the Market as the negotiations continue.
