About

Chafford and North Stifford is a residential ward located in the western part of Thurrock, bordering the London Borough of Havering. The area is characterised by modern housing developments, including the large Chafford Hundred estate built on former quarry land. It contains significant retail and leisure facilities, such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre and the Chafford Gorges Nature Park, which offers walking trails around former chalk quarries now filled with water.

The ward's landscape is defined by the M25 motorway, which runs directly through it, and the presence of several large lakes. These water bodies, remnants of the area's industrial past in chalk extraction, are now central to local green spaces. North Stifford village, with its historic church and older housing, provides a contrast to the newer planned communities. Public transport connections include a railway station serving the c2c line into London.
