Public notice

Whereas application has been made to the Borough Council of Thurrock for the temporary closure of the roads described below, on the occasion of the South Ockendon Remembrance Day Parade on Sunday 8th November 2026 as the roads are likely to be thronged or liable to be obstructed.

And whereas the Police have raised no objection to the making of this Order provided that appropriate arrangements are made to exclude vehicles from the roads affected by this Order other than those vehicles associated with the event and that suitable closure notices are displayed.

Now therefore the Borough Council of Thurrock in pursuance of the powers conferred by Section 21 of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 and of all other enabling powers hereby makes the following Order:-

1. South Road, South Ockendon from Tamarisk Road to the War Memorial at West Road, including side roads, and North Road / West Road junction, shall be temporarily closed in order to facilitate the South Ockendon Remembrance Day Parade.

2. The Order will come into force at 10:50am until 11:30am on Sunday 8th November 2026.
