MP says Basildon and Laindon RBL branch need suitable accommodation

John Baron MP has written a letter urging Basildon Council to allow the Basildon and Laindon branch of the Royal British Legion to lease the Triangle Community Centre as a base for its local activities. The Centre has been renovated following a fire last year.

Commenting, John said:

“The Royal British Legion does an excellent job locally for veterans and the wider community, but the Basildon and Laindon branch needs suitable accommodation. I have therefore urged Basildon Council to allow the local branch to lease the Triangle Community Centre.”

“Having met with branch members, I feel that we as a local community should be doing much more to support them in their work. Their petition of 1,700 signatures clearly illustrates the strength of feeling on this issue, and I hope the Council takes this into account when coming to a decision.”
