Houses of Multiple Occupation Additional Licensing Scheme

From: Cabinet - Wednesday, 7th May, 2025 7.00 pm - May 07, 2025

This report proposes the renewal of an Additional Licensing Scheme for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) across the entire borough of Thurrock. Building on the success of the previous scheme, which improved housing standards and management, this renewal aims to extend its benefits boroughwide to address the challenges of increasing small HMO numbers and their associated issues.

Adoption of Thurrock Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan

From: Cabinet - Wednesday, 12th February, 2025 7.00 pm - February 12, 2025

This report seeks approval from Cabinet for the adoption of the Thurrock Local Cycling and Walking Infrastrcture Plan, more commonly referred to as LCWIP. The Thurrock LCWIP is a high level plan setting out prioritisation for future investment and planning in the delivery of walking and cycling infrastrcture across the borough to support the aims of central government in enabling more short distance trips to be made by walking, cycling and wheeling. Details of the work undertaken to produce this document along with its benefits, obstacles and limitations are given in this report to support its publication and adoption. Local Authorities in England are strongly encouraged to develop and deliver a long-term infrastructure plan to improve the local walking, wheeling (including wheelchairs, mobility scooters and other wheeled devices) and cycling networks. Adopting an LCWIP will enable Thurrock Council to access future several government funding streams and maintain or improve the councils rating by Active Travel England of local authorities for Active Travel, which in turn, opens access to higher sums of grant funding. To not adopt the LCWIP risks the council being downgraded to a rating of Zero by Active Travel England. An adopted LCWIP will also support the delivery of the council’s future Local Plan by forming part of its transport evidence base, and will align with the Council’s upcoming Transport Strategy and form part of the Local Transport Plan 4.
