PART 1

THE BOROUGH OF BASILDON

CONSTITUTION

Basildon District Council was set up on 1 April 1974 under the English Non-Metropolitan Districts (Definition) Order 1972 which made provision for the Basildon Urban District Council and that part of the Thurrock Urban District Council within the New Town Area to constitute the new District Council. This was just 40 years after the Billericay Urban District, later the Basildon Urban District, was established. The Basildon and Castle Point (Areas) Order 1984 provided as from 1 April 1984 for part of Bowers Gifford to be transferred to Castle Point District.

The first elections for the District Council were held on 7 June 1973 when 46 Councillors were elected. The District of Basildon (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1978 made provision for the division of the District into 14 Wards returning 42 Councillors and the first elections for these were held in May 1979. The District of Basildon (Electoral Arrangements) Order 2001 made provision for the division of the District into 16 Wards returning 42 Councillors and the first elections were held in May 2002. Ten Wards are represented by three Members and six by two Members. Members retire by thirds each year, except in those years when there are elections to the County Council.

Basildon Council was awarded Borough status in July 2010 and received the Charter confirming that status on 26 October 2010.

PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES

From the General Election on 6 May 2010, the Borough has been divided into three Parliamentary Constituencies. Wickford Castledon, Wickford North and Wickford Park Wards form part of the Rayleigh and Wickford Constituency; Langdon Hills, Nethermayne, Pitsea North West, Pitsea South East and Vange, along with six wards from the Thurrock District, form the South Basildon and East Thurrock Constituency; and the remainder of Basildon Borough forms the Basildon and Billericay Constituency.

The Members of Parliament elected on 12 December 2019 were:

Basildon and Billericay - Mr John Baron (Conservative) Rayleigh and Wickford - Mr Mark Francois (Conservative) South Basildon and East Thurrock - Mr Stephen Metcalfe (Conservative)
