Thurrock has a positive message
THERE is lots of good news on developments in Thurrock for local people to be very positive about. Being positive in anycase is very good for community well being. We have plans apace in Grays for a new local college and a new community hospital together with the Royal Opera workshops in Purfleet. The new Gateway Academy will benefit the children of families in important areas of Thurrock like Tilbury and Chadwell St Mary. I for one am very pleased with my new local church on Chafford Hundred. I have also been very impressed with local West Thurrock councillor Andy Smith and his Labour councillor colleagues taking to proactive leadership in their ward via street surgeries. By being out there talking to everyone, councillor Smith and his colleagues are getting the views and opinions of all the people, not just the regular few worthies.
