Residents invited to have their say on plans to keep Grays safe and welcoming

20 January 2026
Residents, businesses and visitors are being invited to have their say on new plans aimed at reducing anti-social behaviour and helping people feel safer in Grays. 
Thurrock Council is launching a public consultation on proposals to continue measures that tackle behaviours such as street drinking and other issues that can negatively affect people’s day-to-day lives and enjoyment of the town. 
By extending these measures, the Council aims to continue supporting a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who lives in, works in or visits Grays. 

Have your say on polling stations

11 December 2024
With proposals for a new ward map for Thurrock set to go Parliament for a decision early next year, Thurrock Council has launched a consultation on proposals for polling station locations.
The consultation asks residents to have their say on proposals to divide wards into polling districts to make sure everyone has access to a polling station and can vote on polling day.
