The coastal path running from Coalhouse Fort in East Tilbury to Grays has been revitalised and cleaned up, thanks to our contractors Henderson and Taylor.
A team from the Tilbury based contractor cut back overgrown vegetation on and around the Right of Way and sprayed the road to reduce weeds returning.
A second team picked up litter, ensuring this much-loved Thurrock attraction is well maintained for visitors over the summer.
This work is not part of the company’s contract with the council. The firm volunteered to carry out the clean-up in support of the council’s Civic Pride Campaign helping recover pride in our borough and make small improvements that mean a lot to residents.
Cllr Richard Bingley, Leader of Thurrock Council, said:
“We’ve been out talking to local people and listened to the improvements they want to see. Improving the coastal path was one of the changes they highlighted, and a big thank you to Henderson and Taylor who volunteered to support our Civic Pride campaign like this.”
Roland Gibbins, Director, Henderson and Taylor, said:
“As a proud local business, we are delighted to support the council’s ambition to improve how local people view their borough and help improve their local amenities.”
Future boroughwide projects under the Civic Pride banner include new playgrounds across the borough, an expansion to our CCTV network to help crack down on fly-tipping and ASB, investment in green spaces around the high-rise blocks of flats in Chadwell St Mary and improving the park and community facilities in Grays Town Park.
