AS it slowly creeps towards compilation of its massively behind schedule Local Plan, Thurrock Council has begun a new process of consultation and is to hold a series of virtual events so that communities can share their views.

The following events are taking place, when residents are invited to participate and have a say on the future growth and infrastructure requirements for your area up to 2040. Residents who do not live in one of the identified growth areas can also have their say by visiting this link.
