I am against the plan for a large development on the seafront near the Kursaal. It will take trade away from Southend town centre shops, restaurants and cinema. Also the scale is just too big. It reminds me of a similar recent entertainment development on Exmouth's seafront. It was a very expensive high-spec building which although is still open, is not popular with locals or visitors and was virtually empty last August when I visited.
