About

Grays Riverside ward occupies a low-lying area on the north bank of the River Thames within the Thurrock unitary authority. The ward is primarily defined by its industrial and logistical functions, containing significant portions of the Port of Tilbury and the Lakeside Basin. This area is a major hub for freight, with extensive distribution centres, deep-water port facilities, and the strategic crossing of the A13 and A1089 road networks. The landscape is largely shaped by these economic activities, featuring large-scale warehouses and transport infrastructure.

Residential communities are present, notably in parts of West Tilbury and along the riverfront at Tilbury. The area includes the Tilbury Fort, a historic artillery fortification that has guarded the Thames estuary since the 16th century. Much of the ward's open space consists of the managed marshes and river walls that line the Thames, providing a distinct environment separate from the industrial zones. The ward's character is fundamentally tied to the movement of goods and the historical and ongoing relationship with the river.
