IN these unprecedented times, we have taken the decision to allow all Thurrock businesses and organisations to advertise on Thurrock Nub News for free. Its a quick and easy way to reach the thousands of people who read our news stores each day.

We have launched a Local Listing section which has been adapted for the coronavirus. This will allow Thurrock businesses to tell the public what they are doing in this current crisis, whether they are still open and what changes they have made to their service.

We will promote these businesses and services every day in Thurrock Nub News articles and on social media while this crisis continues. We want to keep you, Thurrocks residents and communities, informed and help local businesses.

Using our "Nub It" button (link below) Thurrock businesses and services can enter their details (company picture/logo, website address, business phone number) on to our site.

While our primary function is to offer a news and features service to Thurrock, one of our principles is to support local businesses and shops in the borough's high streets, precincts and centres.

To add your business/shop/service please click on this link and press the black "Nub It" button. It is very easy to do and takes very little time.

If you have friends or family that run local businesses please make them aware of this service as they do the best they can to keep their business alive.

The more people this gets around, the more successful, informative and helpful it will be. We are all in this together.
