Cllrs Tony Fish, Martin Kerin and Jane Pothecary are fighting against an ‘unsustainable’ development on Clarence Road, Grays, which contains no additional parking.
The three Grays Riverside councillors believe that any further development on Clarence Road that does not include additional parking should be rejected.
In a joint statement to Your Thurrock, they said:
“The area is over developed already and parking causes real problems for local residents. The parking permit scheme has not solved this problem and there are far too few parking spaces in the area for use by existing residents.
“The situation is currently unsustainable and adding two more properties to the mix, with no additional parking, will create even more of an issue.
Christmas 2020 will be remembered as the year we camped on the sofa to watch festive films in between video-calling loved ones from our homes. However, for some families in Thurrock, this year’s frustrations are set to continue with new figures revealing crippling broadband speeds in some neighbourhoods. Across the local authority, broadband speeds range from a superfast 533.4 megabits (Mbps) per second to a snail-paced 0.8 Mbps, according to data from Uswitch.com. It means families using Zoom, Skype or Facebook to speak to relatives and friends could be faced with annoying freezes, cut-outs and sound delays. Meanwhile, those downloading Christmas movie classics could be left waiting up to 120 hours, compared to just one minute 20 seconds in neighbourhoods with the fastest speeds.
