- The construction of the 122 affordable homes is nearing completion in Wickford, Essex. Locals have had to put up with the blight of a derelict site for over 12 years, however the new flats have created much upset in the local area as they are out of character and an imposing sight in the town. Promising to be 100% affordable by the contractors, the development has still put the cat among the pigeons as locals still are of the opinion that they will be snapped up by 'greedy landlords'.
Wickford is a town and civil parish in the south of the English county of Essex, with a population of 33,486. Located approximately 30 miles (50 km) east of London, it is within the Borough of Basildon along with the original town of Basildon, Billericay, Laindon and Pitsea.
Wickford has a main high street which includes a wide range of shops. It also has a swimming pool, library, open-air market and a community centre within the vicinity of the town centre.

What wonderful footage! Fascinating! I can't believe how the rear apartments are so close to that tennis court!! 😳
Yes, they are so close! Not being a Wickford resident for many years, it surprises me how quickly it changes.
Those are called ‘The Wimbledon Apartments’
Interesting how Basildon Council were against the development turning down the planning applications for the six & seven storey blocks of flats. Then when this application was approved on appeal they suddenly went into partnership with a Housing Association to build them.
Very good drone footage, thank you.
As I don't live in the local area, I can't comment. However where I live it usually involves a large wedge of cash and a never fulfilled promise of infrastructure improvements.
For a minute I thought this was footage of Putin building luxury soviet appartments in Mariupol
They might look better when finished, but yes, I agree they wouldn't look out of place there!
They look awful we cannot cope with this building going on in this little town .. traffic doctors dentist schools ..all full ..stop building
