Councils are changing. Have your say to put Thurrock residents as the heart of local change

We want to hear your views on the future of local government in our area.

The government has published proposals for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) to simplify local government structures. This means replacing the current 15 councils with fewer, larger local authorities.

Since then, councils across Essex have been working on plans to design the new authorities, looking at local identities, transport routes, health and housing needs, and financial stability. A range of options are being explored, including 3, 4 or 5 new authorities.

Any new council model needs to have Thurrock residents and communities at its heart. That’s why we need you to answer 11 short questions about how you feel about LGR. It will only take three to five minutes to complete. Your feedback will help shape our plans.

We are hosting an online webinar about the process of change to local councils, also called ‘Local Government Reorganisation’, using Microsoft Teams. This will take place on Wednesday, 6 August from 7pm to 8pm. To join please email community@thurrock.gov.uk by 12pm on Wednesday, 6 August to receive the joining instructions.

We are holding a public question time event for Thurrock residents on Tuesday, 19 August at Thameside Theatre in Grays, and you are invited, find out more: Public Question Time Event Tickets, Tue 19 Aug 2025 at 19:00 | Eventbrite
