groundbreaking initiative is coming to Thurrock. It is fantastic news for the
local economy, creating jobs and ensuring that this site is put to good use.
Basildon and Thurrock are proving once again that they are the places to invest
and I look forward to seeing my constituents reap the rewards of this excellent
project."
