Statement on Canvey Lake

Cllr Warren Gibson, Deputy Leader of Castle Point Borough Council said: “A formal decision regarding the acceptance of the surrender of the lease for Canvey Lake will be taken in due course. As part of this process, future arrangements for the Lake including its ongoing maintenance and associated budget will be carefully considered.
“Until such a decision is made, the lease remains fully in effect, and officers are actively gathering all necessary evidence to support informed decision-making by members. Engagement with stakeholders is ongoing, and while they will be held to account where appropriate, it is recognised that their financial contributions are limited to their statutory responsibilities. Further updates will be provided in the near future.”
