Purfleet regeneration receives £75m government funding boost
PURFLEET-on-Thames has received a multi-million-pound funding boost from central government to support the regeneration of its town centre.
£75m has been secured from the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF), which will assist in bringing forward thousands of new homes, supporting local jobs and help Purfleet-on-Thames become safer, greener and healthier.
HIF bid proposals were submitted to Homes England in 2018 by Thurrock Council in conjunction with development partner Purfleet Centre Regeneration Limited, a joint venture between Swan Housing Association and developer Urban Catalyst. Together, the two organisations are creating a vibrant new riverside community in Purfleet-on-Thames.

A housing association donated much-needed supplies and funds to help out a foodbank in Forest Gate over Christmas.
Frontline workers in Swan Housing Association’s estate services raised almost £1,500, which included donations from suppliers, for the Woodgrange Baptist Church foodbank in Romford Road.
They spent more than £1,100 at a supermarket and filled seven trolleys with much-needed supplies for the foodbank, which they delivered to the church along with the remaining funds.
