Southend Central Area Action Plan (SCAAP) - Revised Proposed Submission 2016

Representation ID: 2486

Received: 12/11/2016

Respondent: Miss Laura Cowell

Representation Summary:

The market would be suitably placed here too, drawing people off the main 'drag' and encouraging them to use Queen's Road etc. The market in its current location causes the High St to feel pretty claustrophobic at times. The area in front of the Odeon cinema feels like a huge waste of space too.

Full text:

The proposals for London Road are long overdue, there is such a opportunity to pedestrianise the area currently used for a taxi rank in order to create outside seating for the many restaurants in summer time and a proper location for the market. The pavement in this location is very narrow for such a busy section and heading towards the high street there is a bottle neck caused by the current bicycle parking provisions, forcing you to walk into the road if you wish to head south down the high street. This area is crying out to be pedestrianised and create better links between Sainsburys/College Way and the High Street.
