A council has granted itself planning permission to increase the size of waste bin areas at two blocks of flats.

Thurrock's development control committee gave the go-ahead for extensions to the refuse areas at two blocks of nine flats in Bellmaine Avenue, Corringham.

Acting chairman of the committee, Arthur Clarke, said: "This is a much needed facility and I am pleased to see it."
