Footbridge. Page 44.
This is a semi stepped bridge that should be made into a smooth ramp so that push chairs and buggies and electric buggies for pensioners can gain access to the foreshore at this halfway point on the route.
It would give older sailing club members and residents an opportunity to visit the sailing club, and to access the paddling pool with grandchildren. About a third of residents are pensioners, and their needs have to be considered.The bridge is presently an obstacle for all prams and wheelchairs, and need not be so.

Cliffs below Cliff Parade.
This area is not mentioned, but is popular for picnics and visitors to the seafront.
Although an informal area, not groomed like a park, it is a neglected area, hedges rarely cut unless complaints are made regularly by members, steps not kept clean and broken glass not removed.
A little tender care would greatly enhance this popular viewpoint of the Estuary and improve the visitor facility which gives access by the bridge to the Cinder Path and Chalkwell /Leigh Old Town.
