Thurrock council announced the tip would be closed on Tuesday because of a staff shortage and, though there was no official announcement, it was closed yesterday as well.

This morning (Thursday, 14 January) the council announced: "Due to flooding on site caused by overnight rain, the waste and recycling centre is currently closed. We will provide an update when the site is safe to re-open."

Under new rules, trailers are only permitted on the site during Thursday mornings and other vehicles are not allowed during that time. The council have given no notice if trailer users will get another slot to make up for the one missed this morniong.
