Culture and Creativity in Thurrock:
Culture and creativity are central to Thurrock’s identity, communities and sense of belonging. Thurrock is home to nationally significant cultural organisations, a growing creative workforce and an active, committed community and voluntary sector. Established artists sit alongside emerging talent, working with and for diverse audiences across our towns, villages and neighbourhoods.
As part of the Thames Estuary Production Corridor, Thurrock plays a strategic role in the UK’s Creative and Cultural Industries, generating skilled jobs, attracting investment and contributing to national productivity.
Thurrock is shaped by a powerful mix of heritage, industry, landscape and people. Our story is one of trade, migration and making - a global narrative that continues to define who we are and who we can become.
Culture has a vital role to play in rebuilding trust, strengthening pride in place and improving quality of life. It supports wellbeing, learning and social connection, creates routes into employment and skills, and gives people the opportunity to express their identity and voice. Culture in Thurrock is not an add-on; it is a catalyst for inclusive growth, healthier communities and a stronger sense of belonging.
Local Government Reorganisation
In January 2026, Thurrock Council considered a request from the Minister for Local Government and Homelessness to provide views on postponing the May 2026 local elections, due to their potential impact on delivering Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). The request was discussed by Cabinet on 13 January and by all councillors at an Extraordinary Council meeting on 14 January. Following these discussions, the Leader of the Council wrote to the Minister setting out councillors’ views and concluding that postponing the elections could help reduce risks to delivering LGR.
Local Government Reorganisation is a government-led programme to simplify council structures by replacing the current two-tier system with a smaller number of unitary authorities. Thurrock Council submitted its preferred proposal in September 2025 and responded to the Government’s public consultation, which closed on 11 January 2026. The Government is now considering all responses and is expected to confirm next steps in March 2026.
