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.
