Thurrock is a unique place to live and work. The borough is home to many long-established communities as well as a rich diversity of newer communities. Some have moved here to raise their families because it is "a nice quiet place compared to London". The borough is changing economically, too, with the potential for new jobs and other opportunities as part of Thurrock's Economic Development Strategy.
Everyone who lives here wants the best from the borough and some people are worried about things moving too fast. We want everyone to be able to benefit from the changes. The Council and all the other organisations that make up Shaping Thurrock (the Local Strategic Partnership) will be working hard to make sure that services keep pace, and that everyone is treated fairly.
We all have a role to play in Thurrock's future. Together we can help build a strong, welcoming Thurrock where all people get on well, respect and value each other's differences, and are fully engaged in all that is on offer. The Council and other Shaping Thurrock Partners have agreed a vision for Thurrock:
This strategy focuses one of the five priorities identified to achieve this vision: to build pride, respect and responsibility in Thurrock's communities and its residents.
