Cllr Louise McKinlay, Essex County Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Communities, Economic Growth and Prosperity, was joined by members of the council’s Cabinet on a visit to Thames Enterprise Park (31 October) to see the scale of the opportunity and to find out more about the plans at this major regeneration opportunity in Thurrock for Essex and the South East.
Cllr McKinlay was joined by Leader Cllr Kevin Bentley alongside Essex County Council Cabinet Members, officers, and representatives of Thames Estuary Growth Board.
As one of the largest and most significant brownfield regeneration projects in the UK, Thames Enterprise Park offers a unique opportunity to drive economic growth in the region.
TEP will create an energy-led commercial district for advanced logistics and manufacturing, specialised high energy use industries, sustainable energy generation technologies, and fuels of the future.
Rupert Wood said: “We’re pleased to be able to host the Essex County Council Cabinet and Officers for their visit so they could hear how Thames Enterprise Park will drive economic growth in the area. We’re looking forward to continuing our work with partners across the region as we realise the impact this new economic asset and employment development will have for Thurrock, Essex, the South East, and the UK.”
Councillor Louise McKinlay, Essex County Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Communities, Economic Growth and Prosperity, said: “Thames Enterprise Park is a hugely exciting regeneration scheme, and it was fantastic to be able to visit the site and see the plans for the location first hand. The project will create a major new economic centre for sustainable and specialist industries, including advanced logistics and manufacturing, helping to drive economic growth in Greater Essex and create new jobs across the wider region.”
