Scott Logan is an experienced leader in local government, currently standing as the Chief Executive of Basildon Council. As a sponsor for the Basildon Local Delivery Pilot for the last four years, he understands the role that physical activity can play in improving not only mental and physical health, but the aspirational benefits it can have on the individual, the family, and the wider communities where organised activities happen. Scott has voiced he wishes to share learnings and replicate successes from the pilot across Essex, impacting a wider audience.

On Scott’s appointment to the board, he said: “I’ve worked in local government for over 30 years at four different Essex Councils. I’m really passionate about physical activity and the many benefits it can bring. I’ve seen first-hand how powerful a tool it can be in tackling health inequalities in Basildon, so to get the opportunity to become an Active Essex board member is something I’m really proud of.”
