Respondent: Southend-on-Sea Borough Council - Parks and Open Spaces
Easy access to good quality public realm is important to people’s health and wellbeing. Some areas of the town have little or no access to public space and other areas have poor streetscapes. Priority should be given to creating new public realm, including green spaces in areas that are deficient. In addition to new public realm, existing areas that are not fit for purpose or in decline should be prioritised for improvement. In developing priorities the protection of the existing amount of public realm, including green space should be included.
