A student vapes as she walks down a street Grays, Essex, under the morning sun, on January 18, 2023. - In the referendum in 2016, 72.3% of voters voted for Brexit in the local constituency of Thurrock, of which Grays is the largest town with around 75,000 inhabitants. This made it the fourth largest in the country, out of a total of 382, to vote overwhelmingly for leaving the EU.
