Don't forget to show your support and appreciation for the NHS and our key workers tonight at 8pm, for their brilliant work during this time.
Whilst we encourage as many of you to join in as possible, we must also advise you not to go out to Basildon hospital, our fire services or any other public gathering to do this. Please show your appreciation by clapping outside your front or back doors, windows or balconies, whilst remaining at home. Thank you.

Please be reminded that in the interest of public health and safety, our facilities in parks and play areas across the borough remain closed for the foreseeable future.
Our parks remain open however, to use for daily exercise. Please use the parks responsibly, so that they can continue to be used by others - keep moving, keep your distance and don't enter if the park looks too crowded.
