Southend Central Area Action Plan (SCAAP) - Schedule of Modifications to the Revised Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 2893

Received: 20/09/2017

Respondent: Essex Chambers of Commerce

Representation Summary:

We object to the wording of Main 6 as it does not address the issues of parking capacity in key visitor car parks despite acknowledging that there is a need to accommodate peaks and troughs in parking demand.

We don't believe that the use of the phrase "availability of parking in other convenient locations" is precise enough. What is convenient to one person might be completely inconvenient to another so this needs to be spelt out better.

We also remain unconvinced that the Council will be able to effect the modal shift it desires so would discount this option.
