Welcome to The Fold
Update on The Fold
Following the serious fire at Reid's we prepared ourselves for some damage although the firefighters assured us the premises were safe. On visiting the following day we were amazed to find that not only was there little smell of smoke inside the building but somehow we had escaped with absolutely no damage to the exterior thanks to the prompt action of one of the staff at Little Legs who called the emergency services and to their swift attendance.
We are delighted to report that The Fold will reopen as normal in September and were very heartened by the concern showed by so many people. However, having survived a potential disaster, it would be very sad if activities at The Fold had to be reduced because of lack of people to help run it. If you were one of those who were worried about the future of The Fold perhaps you would be prepared to join the committee, bring some new ideas and ensure it continues to provide somewhere local to develop new skills, meet new people and enjoy oneself. We'd really love to hear from you if you could help.
Redevelopment of Reid's
A Planning Application to convert what is left of Reid's into apartments plus a new build of a further block of apartments in the car park has been submitted to Basildon Borough Council. We are currently going through all the documents before we can comment on the plans
Autumn Term starts Monday 19th September 2022
