About

Belhus ward is situated in the southeastern part of Thurrock, primarily characterised by residential housing developed in the mid-20th century. The area includes a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes, with local amenities centred around the Belhus Chase neighbourhood. Its landscape is largely suburban, featuring several parks and green corridors that provide open space for residents. The ward is bordered by the M25 motorway to the south, which defines a significant part of its boundary and influences local connectivity.

A notable local feature is the Belhus Woods Country Park, a large area of ancient woodland and grassland with a series of fishing lakes. The presence of the A13 road runs through the northern section, linking the area to wider Thurrock and beyond. Housing estates like Homesteads and Oakfield are key residential zones, served by local schools and shopping parades. The overall environment is quiet and community-focused, with a distinct separation from the more industrial Thames-side areas of the borough.
