THURROCK Council is planning to sell off four plots of land it owns in Tilbury.

The authority recently announced controversial plans to dispose of land to the north of the town - now it has identified four more plots it wants to cash in on.

They are a grass area on Russell Road, a small plot on Monarch Close, nine acres to the north of Parker Avenue and a small plot between Dock Road and the railway line linking Tilbury and East Tilbury.

The council says it will consider objections to the sales that are lodged with it before 5pm on Friday, 27 November.

The council embarked on a huge sale of land assets after its financial collapse in 2022, setting a £104.1 million target over a five-year period as part of its financial recovery plan following effective bankruptcy

There are no accurate recorded figures available but to date it is estimated the council has sold off £51.713 million worth of property and land assets.

There is currently only one plot of council land on the market, also in Tilbury.
