About

Little Thurrock Blackshots ward lies in the western part of Thurrock, primarily consisting of residential housing estates built in the mid-20th century. The area is bordered by the A13 to the north and includes the large Blackshots playing fields and sports complex, a central green space for local recreation. Housing is a mix of semi-detached homes, terraces, and some low-rise flats, serving a settled community with several local schools and convenience shops catering to daily needs.

The ward's landscape is marked by the elevated chalk ridge of the Linford Hills, offering views across the Thames estuary. This topography historically influenced settlement patterns, separating it from the industrial zones nearer the river. The local leisure centre and library on Blackshots Lane function as key community hubs. Public transport connections focus on bus routes linking residents to Grays town centre and the wider borough.
