Respondent: Southend Borough Council - 2050 Safe and Well
If there is a desire to increase the number of visitors then there are two aspects that we consider should be taken into account:
• Ensuring a variety of offer to visitors such that a visit to Southend is a viable option in all weather conditions and not just trying to increase further the number of visitors in the peak summer periods when the town’s attractions, facilities and infrastructure are already overcrowded
• Transporting additional visitors to the town’s attractions requires improved integration of modes of transport so that reliance on the car is reduced
