Great Baddow Parish Council represents a population of about 15,000 people and provides many facilities, including meeting places, sports and recreation facilities and cemeteries. We are a long-established parish council and celebrated our centenary in 1994. Despite Great Baddow being classified as part of urban Chelmsford, residents still identify strongly with it as a village and one of the Council’s main aims is to foster our village identity and community spirit.

There are over 30 listed buildings in Great Baddow and there is a conservation area at the heart of the village. Major housing developments from the fifties onwards have contributed to its present size and there has been a long association with Marconi and later BAE Systems. A former Chain Home Radar transmitter tower is a prominent feature on the outskirts of the village, where it has been used by Marconi and BAE to test equipment, and is represented on our village sign.

                                                              URC UPDATE

Dear Residents

The Parish Council yesterday, Wednesday 19th February, received an email from the Eastern Synod suggesting that they would be happy for the Council to take over the lease of the URC building on a temporary basis when the church services cease in July.

There are a couple of provisos which the Council is just clarifying with the Eastern Synod and once this has been completed, we will be in a position to share everything with yourselves.

The Council would therefore ask all hirers to please bear with us for a couple of more weeks and we hope then to be in a position to actually confirm the lease and that all hires can remain as they are.

The Council is continuing to look at the future for the building.

Yours faithfully

Great Baddow Parish Council
