Respondent: Essex County Council

ECC wishes to stress the positive relationship which has been built up over time between ECC, Southend and its two neighbouring Essex Districts, Castle Point and Rochford, including through Thames Gateway South Essex. ECC particularly welcomes the statement in para.1.14 of the PDCS document which states that Southend will wish to work with ECC on projects on the A127 and A13. ECC will wish to continue to work collaboratively with Southend in ECC's role as Highway Authority in Castle Point and Rochford and in developing projects through the Integrated County Strategy which includes Southend, Thurrock , the 12 Essex Districts and ECC. ECC is aware that Southend is a unitary authority over which ECC has less influence than over Essex Districts on CIL and other matters
