The Thameside Complex is home to several key community facilities, including the theatre, library and museum. The improvements form part of a broader programme of work aimed at improving access to the building and enhancing the experience for people using its services. Councillor Richard Bingley, leader of Thurrock Council, said: “The Thameside Theatre is the cultural heart of the borough and something we are rightly proud of. “These improvements are part of work taking place to restore civic pride in the borough, there will be much more to come. “We want to make sure the Thameside is a friendly and welcoming place for theatregoers, museum visitors and library users.
