The myths:
- The silence from Basildon Council on the Local Plan means it is dead, and BAG with it. Nothing is further from the truth.
- The West side of Billericay has been saved from development by the intervention of Essex County Council. It hasn’t.
- The recent electoral results have saved Billericay’s Green Belt. They haven’t.
- The local Billericay councillors support the aims of BAG. They might not.
- That Basildon Borough Council has the best interests of the Billericay residents at heart. The last one didn’t.
