BASILDON GOLF COURSE

Fri 11th Jul 2008

The Friends of Basildon Golf Course have won the first round in their battle to prevent 100's of 1000's of tonnes of waste material being dumped to form 'bunds' around a proposed driving range, and later, round the whole course. The High Court have granted a judicial review hearing for November, which means that in the meantime no development can take place. Meanwhile the Friends are working closely with other pressure groups and individuals around the country where similar developments have been proposed.

With hundreds of thousands of tons of rubble dumped on it, this land will be blighted for ever. (photography: Geoffrey Williams)
