Your Say YourThurrock

WHY is it that the Government think its OK to build on green belt land in Thurrock? They would not get away with it in Hampshire or Cornwall so why Thurrock?? It just shows what they think of us as a borough. In the dictionary the word Thurrock is described as a bend in the river where all the muck collects. Maybe that is why they think we won't care! Well we do! We don't want extra housing and we certainly dont want it on green belt land. Stop immigration and our housing stocks will be more than adequate and our country will still be England's green and pleasant land − Eddie, Aveley

Presumably her protestations are driven totally by her devotion to the people she "represents". NOT − PA, Grays
