THE LEADER of Thurrock Council has welcomed investment into the United Kingdom from DP World.
Cllr John Kent, Leader of Thurrock Council, said: “This investment is welcome news for Thurrock and is a huge vote of confidence in our Labour government’s approach for delivering economic growth. It will play a critical role in the development of Thames Freeport, which is set to create thousands of jobs locally and contribute £5.1 billion to the UK economy a year.
“Thurrock Council will continue to work with DP World and other Freeport partners to make sure that infrastructure to facilitate the port’s expansion is in place and that local people benefit from the exciting opportunities and new jobs this investment will create.”
