The suggestion of providing garden communities is a sensible one. Southend is heavily biased towards 1 & 2 bed flats & more 2, 3 & 4 bed houses are badly needed for young families. Town houses (3 storey) can provide good housing densities & therefore are not necessarily too expensive to build, keeping resale costs affordable. They can make very efficient use of land.
