Work is under way at Teviot Avenue in Aveley to demolish three blocks of flats containing 36 council homes that were built from non-traditional materials in the 1950s, so that 48 new council homes can be built.
The redevelopment of numbers 158-228 (evens only) at Teviot Avenue was approved at a Thurrock Council cabinet meeting in March 2024.
The £14m contract for the demolition and construction was awarded to Colchester-based contractor Marfleet & Bradshaw in April 2025, and formal groundbreaking took place on site last week.
Marfleet & Bradshaw director Ricky Lewis said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Thurrock Council on the Teviot Avenue redevelopment, delivering much-needed affordable homes to the borough with sustainability, energy efficiency and resident comfort designed in. We are committed to delivering the scheme to the highest standards and ensuring it leaves a positive legacy for Thurrock and its residents.”
Work is expected to be completed by autumn 2027.
