The drive towards enhanced culture, leisure and recreational activities is supported and indeed is essential if we are to take advantage of the huge potential for visitors from the continent. This must be coupled with more and better hotel accommodation to encourage longer stays.

Many of the Seafront businesses consulted as part of the Stockvale Group's own consultation have identified their concerns that leisure and tourism is not a strong focus of the SCAAP.

Much better promotion of the Pier and its Museum and better Quality building on the Pier is required. Tourist information is tucked away on the Pier and promotions at the railway stations and airport are needed as well as some direction in the town for information.
The new Beecroft Art Gallery is bare inside and does not announce what it is outside with any colour

Yes, but we need later running transport, and a concert hall.

Southend-On-Sea Council need a clearer tourist and seafront strategy. it is no good just stating that the pier is open to development and the seafront enhanced. Building high rise flats will not enhance the seafront and any developer that wishes to build should be prepared to enhance the infrastructure including car parks and access.
