On the 14th of February Maldon District Council Members voted to approve the recommendation that a new Civil Parish and Parish Council be created.

That Approval starts a formal process to create a Heybridge Basin Parish Council. The Referendum Team that has been working on behalf of the Village now has to produce a Budget for the new Parish and that needs to ready by the 1st August 2019.

That is only part of the work that the Team will be doing over the next year, to ensure that by next May every thing is in place for elections to the New Parish Council.
