Thurrock Council says it has served a planning contravention notice on a 200-space lorry park in the borough, even though there are no alternative places for HGVs to park.
A pettion against the use of the former West Thurrock power station as a truckstop, known as the Titan lorry park, by a local campaign group called Parents Against Lorries means drivers may have nowhere to park in Thurrock. A planning committee meeting will take place this month to consider the issue.
A Thurrock Council spokeswoman says: "There are no authorised lorry parks in Thurrock. Potential sites are in the process of being identified through the Local Development Framework process. However, these sites will take some time to emerge. In the meantime, the West Thurrock site is being used without the necessary planning permission."
