Southend-On-Sea central residential area is dilapidated due to poor land lord management. Houses should be returned from multiple occupancy to private family homes. The property management companies and landlords in Southend are in it for pure profit, and many don't even live in Southend. This culture has been proven to bring down the standard of living in an area which is demonstrated all over Southend. The planning department should be promoting family owned homes in central Southend allowing private money to turn the dilapidated properties back in to quality family homes steering away from flats and multiple occupancy. This would attract London professionals who have the disposable income to significantly invest in their own properties, providing employment for local tradesmen.
