Chalvedon

Chalvedon is an area within the borough of Basildon in Essex, forming part of the town's post‑war expansion under the New Town programme. The neighbourhood is mainly residential, with a mix of housing built during several phases of development, local shops, primary schools and public green spaces. Daily needs are met by parades of shops and community facilities, and parks and play areas are interspersed among the streets. Local bus services connect the area to Basildon town centre and to the wider borough.
Chalvedon also gives its name to an electoral ward on Basildon Borough Council, and the ward designation appears in local planning and election records. Public services such as primary schools, community centres and library provision are organised around that ward structure. Road and rail links serving the area provide routes into Basildon town centre and onward toward London, making Chalvedon a residential sector with close ties to the town's civic and transport network.
