Engagement continues on new cultural and heritage strategy

17 September 2021
Working in partnership with local groups and residents, the council will lead the development of a new and innovative strategy to promote greater community participation and more opportunities to create, engage and experience culture, arts and heritage in Thurrock. The council has begun a process of engagement with residents and local groups to co-design and co-produce a new cultural strategy to ensure arts, culture, and heritage thrives across the entire borough.

Arts, culture and heritage are so much more than a building

23 July 2021
Arts, culture and heritage can flourish across the borough and should not be tied to a single building, which urgently needs more than £16million investment, that is the message from Thurrock Council.
The Thameside Complex is one of a number of operational assets the council is considering disposing of following a decision by Cabinet earlier this month as it looks to provide better and more efficient services from fewer buildings.
