St. Martin's is an electoral ward in Basildon, Essex, England, occupying part of the town centre fringe and the surrounding residential neighbourhoods. It benefits from good transport links into and out of the town - including proximity to Basildon railway station and the main arterial roads - and sits near popular green spaces such as Gloucester Park.
As part of the post‑war Basildon new town, the ward displays a mix of early new‑town housing and later developments, with local shops, community facilities and small businesses shaping day‑to‑day life. Ongoing regeneration and active community groups influence its social and economic character, while its mid‑20th‑century origins remain a notable part of the local heritage.
