John Baron Backs Silva Island Way Anti-pub Campaign

On Friday, John visited Silva Island Way, Wickford to see for himself the proposed extension to existing shops which would create an additional retail unit and public house.

John said: “A pub would not be a good idea. There are schools and nurseries very nearby, which is a factor given the increased traffic and possible disorderly behaviour from the pub. In addition, the increased noise would not be welcome, whilst anyone who wants a drink can visit the community centre next door.”

“This proposal is not needed or wanted. I shall therefore be writing to Basildon Council to voice my objection by the 21st May deadline, and I would encourage others to do the same.”
