The first meeting of the Daisy Meadow Car Park Committee is being held on 17th June 2021 commencing at 5.00 pm. The Agenda for this meeting is loaded on the website under Council minutes. This will be a remote meeting and, if you wish to join us, please email the Clerk on the morning of the meeting.
The next meeting of Heybridge Basin Parish Council will be at 7,30 pm on 22nd June 2021. This will be held at Plantation Hall in Heybridge.
Although the Daisy Meadow Car Park is now open, we remind visitors to the Basin that there are no toilet facilites in the Basin area.
Heybridge Basin is a small waterside village located where the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Canal merges into the tidal Blackwater Estuary, fed by the rivers Blackwater and Chelmer.
The two rivers are joined by a lock which is regularly used by pleasure boats. There are two pubs adjacent to the lock (The Old Ship Inn and The Jolly Sailor) which provide traditional British food. There is also a tea room, 'the lock' operated by Wilkin and Sons, the conserves company.
The basin offers walks along the seawall and the canal leading back into the heart of Heybridge itself. During the summer months, rowing boat hire is also available.
