New Local Plan

Representation ID: 2983

Received: 18/02/2019

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Chubb

Representation Summary:

There are a large number of 'derelict' buildings in the town (Southend, Westcliff and Leigh) which look tatty and do not promote visitors to the area. For example Blockbuster video store which has been derelict for years and attracts flyposting and graffiti, also a large building opp chalkwell park. Why does it take so long for these buildings to be sold on and developed for a better use?
