Thurrock Council has begun the tendering process for a reuse and recycling project in West Thurrock, after securing land and planning permission.
The Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation has put nearly £1million into the project that will involve the creation of a new civic amenity site with a custom-built reuse facility, which will be complete and ready for use from the Summer 2009.
Thurrock Council is currently looking for tenders from not-for-profit or voluntary organisations to utilise the reusable material from both the civic amenity site and the bulky waste collection service.
The facility will be a collection facility and workshop rather than a retail outlet, and as such, it will be the responsibility of the successful organisation to provide any retail operation at another site.
Cllr Steve Veryard, Thurrock Council's Cabinet member for Environmental Services, said: "We, as a council, have worked hard to secure funding for this new civic amenity site for residents living in the west of the borough and I am delighted that the project is now underway."
The purpose of this personal blogsite is to pass Ward or Thurrock related information across, and to allow residents comment on plans or proposals. Residents suggestions for developments in the community are certainly very welcome.
