Reading about the redevelopment of Pitsea, I’m not surprised they want to knock down Pitsea pool and ruin probably the best market for miles.
One councillor said Pitsea’s pool is underused. Well, so is Basildon golf course, so why not build a supermarket there instead?
By all means redevelop Pitsea, but don’t overdevelop the place. Surely the Railway Hotel could and should be repaired and brought back into some kind of use?
Pitsea used to have character, but it’s losing it little by little. The people of Pitsea need to speak up before it’s too late.
