Southend Central Area Action Plan (SCAAP) - Revised Proposed Submission 2016
Representation ID: 2520

Respondent: MR JAMES GIBB
The roads are already clogged up and any further moves to favour cyclists and pedestrians would be detrimental. The Shared space on the seafront is confusing and unsafe.
Whilst a restriction in peak times may be appropriate for the 90%+ of the time when the area is quiet the free flow of traffic at 30mph should be restored to reduce congestion and pollution not only on the sea front but in the rest of the town.
Consideration should be given to allowing free flow of traffic in pedestrianized areas at night to make them less undesirable.
