About this meeting
Bridge To Normal Living runs on Wednesdays at 7pm in the main room via the back entrance of Open Road in Vange, Basildon, lasting an hour and a half. The front shutters are usually down, so the way in is to follow the road round to a silver gated car park between two bushes, which marks the entrance. It is an open meeting built around the Basic Text, welcoming anyone with a desire to stop using drugs alongside family, friends and professionals. The 22 and 27 buses run from Basildon bus station, with the nearest stop at Vange Library. The venue is wheelchair accessible, which is useful given the slightly unusual route to the door.
