It was pleasing to read that Basildon golf course is being properly run and used for its proper purpose and that the efforts of the “guerrilla” golfers had kept it in reasonable condition.

All we need now is a guarantee that it will continue to be a golf course and not a landfill site.

Is it too much to hope that we might recover the rent which Basildon Council has allowed to go uncollected? I suppose we will have to put the huge legal costs down to experience and remember them at election time.
