Received: 13/12/2016

Respondent: Papillon

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The document does not comply with the council's Statement of Community Involvement.
A -The invitations sent out to businesses in Southend to visit the consultation public workshops contained incorrect dates for the meetings. As a result I missed the 2 sessions that were for businesses and was not able to have my say.
"Have your say on future development of Southend's town centre and central seafront ''
Please see 2 attached letters showing the workshops on 21 st Jan 10am to 1230pm, and 6 pm to 830 pm.
The actual workshops for businesses were on 20th Jan 3pm to 4pm and 21st jan 8am to 9am.
B - This submission form downloadable from the council's website is in a pdf format which can't be edited. Thus many businesses/ residents have not been able to email their representations to the council.
Responses can also be made using the Representation Form and emailed to ldf@southend.gov.uk.
C - The on line submission process is very difficult to navigate. It is time consuming and not at all user friendly, and does not allow for attachments to be submitted. Due to this many businesses/ residents wanting to submit an online representation would simply give up.
