It articulates how we will achieve better outcomes for Essex and secure the ambitions set out in the Vision for Essex. Our ambition, at the end of this period, is for Essex to be the best local authority in the country. Ongar Business Centre ('the Centre') is a 15,000 sq ft office building owned freehold by Essex County Council ('ECC', 'the Authority'). The Centre supports ECC's Organisation Strategy 2017-21, aiming to "enable Essex firms in high-growth sectors to consolidate and expand, by providing advice and increasing business space".
