  3. Basildon has become Essex’s first fully electric bus depot following a £30.6 million project by First Bus, #Essex County Council and the Department for Transport’s ZEBRA2 scheme. The Cherrydown Way depot now operates 55 zero-emission buses across #Basildon and South Essex, offering quieter journeys, improved air quality and a better passenger experience. The project received a £4.8 million ZEBRA2 grant alongside £25.8 million from First Bus, funding new high-capacity charging infrastructure using renewable electricity. First Bus aims for an entirely electric fleet by 2035, with the Basildon depot saving an estimated 4,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. The project is part of a national decarbonisation programme, which has introduced over 1,500 electric buses, making First Bus a #UK leader in clean public #transport. Officials marked completion at an event on 20 November.

  4. About a month ago I repotted the Basil as it was starting to look sad again. Happy to report that all 5 plants made it and seem much happier.

    One has started to flower, which I guess means I wasn't trimming it enough, but as a first try, I'm ok with that.

  5. #Basildon update, they're still alive! They do seem very long and thin now, so I suspect they're pot bound? But one has developed some little flowers.

  11. I got some of the shopping centre names wrong as I rarely go into South #Essex and have not been to #Basildon since 1990 (and was ejected from the Eastgate shopping centre by security for wearing a hoodie and hanging around with local youths I'd befriended) - but I seem to spend a fair bit of time in the area recently (including long drives along the #A12 as its the only route out of this part of #EastAnglia to SE England)

  12. Why do I think that #BasilDon is not the right hashtag for this?

    We got a random packet of #Basil seeds, which we planted, but didn't initially give them enough light, so they're a bit floppy and thin. But now they're sat in a south facing window and getting more leaves. See how many make it.

  13. Crisis in Basildon. The number of homeless children has surged by 200 in just four years, reaching 893 in 2024. This comes despite a 5-year blueprint published in 2019 aimed at reducing numbers. Jenny Rhodes reports

  19. @kkarhan @thatkatharine

    there was a moral panic spread in Britain about hoodies by the Conservative government around mid 2000s, and as long ago as 1989 I was ejected from a shopping centre in #Basildon , #Essex whilst wearing one (as I was just "hanging around" with some other teens and not spending money. In some retail places security would challenge youths wearing hoodies although usually only if they had their hoods up, and far less common today as its a more popular garment..

  20. As Rishi Sunak's government presents its budget today, it faces a stagnant economy and an cost of living crisis.

    Basildon, a journey into the heart of the UK's stagnating economy.
