TEST - Building Safety
We focus on the well-being of our residents by having a dedicated Safety Team for the residential buildings we manage.
In the wake of the heartbreaking Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017, the Government initiated an independent review focused on building regulations and fire safety.
This review underscored the necessity for more robust regulations concerning high-risk residential buildings, specifically those with seven or more stories or standing at 18 meters or taller.
Consequently, the Building Safety Act 2022 was established, integrating numerous recommendations from the review.
This page is focused on Thurrock’s Council-owned high-risk residential buildings, as outlined in the Building Safety Act 2022.
Resident Engagement
Our main focus is on ensuring the well-being of our residents, placing you at the centre of our efforts. Our Building Safety Resident Engagement Strategy details how we will keep you updated on safety procedures and ensure you can easily share any concerns with us.
Strategy Objectives
Our resident engagement strategy [IS THIS THE SAME AS THE POLICY ABOVE?] is designed to help residents:
|
1. Feel secure in their homes 2. Know the steps to take during an emergency in their building 3. Connect with important safety contacts at the council 4. Understand the roles of both the council and residents in keeping their living space safe 5. Learn how they can get involved and the advantages of participating in building safety 6. Receive information in a straightforward and clear way 7. Voice their concerns if they feel unheard. |
Resident Feedback
The Resident Engagement Strategy is a dynamic document that we will continuously assess and refine based on your feedback. We value your input on the strategy to ensure its clarity and identify any areas for enhancement.
Please share your thoughts with our dedicated Building Safety Team at buildingsafetymgr@thurrock.gov.uk
Additionally, we are reaching out to residents in all high-rise buildings to better understand your needs and collaborate with you in developing customised building information packs for your building.
Building Information Packs
An essential part of our approach is the development of customised building safety information packs for each of our high-rise buildings, ensuring residents receive detailed information about their particular blocks.

Building information packs will be sent directly to all residents and can also be accessed in PDF format above.
Please keep checking this webpage for updates and revisions on any of the buildings listed.
