Southend Central Area Action Plan (SCAAP) Preferred Approach 2015

Representation Summary:
Like it or not the founding reasons of Southend's original success was rich London families who wanted to live by the sea. Their money was its reason for success and the city needs that cash injection again. Attracting London professionals to the area would not force out social or affordable housing but actually pay for it, create jobs and maintain a balance in society which Southend Centre currently lacks. This would also break down that Leigh On Sea and Southend social divide which is ridiculous as Southend itself could be far nicer than crammed in Leigh On Sea with its lack of sea front and crammed streets.
