About Basildon 

As the largest town in the borough, Basildon has a high population density and notoriously busy road systems, thanks to its enviable position close to the capital. Located in the county of Essex, Basildon Town itself is one of the most densely populated areas in the county, lying just over 30 miles east of Central London. It is because of this close proximity that commuters flock to the town, and cause a noticeable increase in traffic on the roads.

Historically Basildon was only created as a town after World War II to accommodate the population overspill from London, and these ties to the city have never wavered. Many residents work in Central London due to the excellent connections to the city and Docklands financial districts, both by rail and via road access thanks to the popular A127 and A13 trunk roads.

The A13 and A127 represent the two main roads from London to Southend, passing to the south and north of the town respectively. Both are important routes in the commuter belt, providing connections to the M25 and the rest of the motorway network. Linking to and from these roads is a series of six main roads, all of which include the word ‘mayne’ in their name. Recently Essex County Council successfully bid to improve the A127 Basildon Enterprise Corridor, in order to build upon and support the road system for what is the largest employment zone in South Essex - as well as aiding the high levels of commuter traffic. 

Unfortunately high levels of traffic increases the likelihood of accidents. The A120 is known for accident issues, as is the Runwell Road near Wickford with more than 16 accidents reported in an 18 month period. The AA said that Essex is one of the worst areas for road safety, with less than 50% of the public saying they’re satisfied with road safety in the county. Higher numbers of accidents means the demand for replacement car parts is on the rise, and Breakeryard.com can help.
