RESIDENTS in Chadwell St Mary are being given the chance to help create a new community plan for the area as part of Thurrock Council's 'Communities in Action' programme - a pilot project designed to help the authority find better ways of working with communities to create changes in local areas based on what matters most to the people who live and/or work there.

A drop-in session will take place at Herringham Primary Academy on Tuesday, 5 November from 4.30 to 6.30pm.

If you can't make the event, you can fill in the online survey at: https://orlo.uk/yT7fs
