Unlike the 'Ramblas' in Barcelona, Southend High Street is a fair weather shopping destination whereas the competition in places like Lakeside and Blue Water shopping malls offer any weather shopping. The provision of a glass canopy along the centre of the High Street and along preferred pedestrian routes would help the retail offering be perceived as an all weather environment.
