After the UK government's declaration of 'New Towns Act' in 1946; Basildon was labeled as 'New Town' and was developed to accommodate the population over spilled by London due to the Second World War.

Today, Basildon stands in the map of England with a lot of pride. It has all the state of the art facilities, including shopping malls, high-speed internet and an efficient van hire facility. Basildon will celebrate 60 years in 2009; but still, people refer it as a new town.
