New jobs should be supported wherever they can be created. This could include people working within their own homes.

The high street is no longer an attractive place to shop and work. There are safety concerns as well as lack of opportunity. This should be a key focus to develop a shopping district offering the best brands and experience.

New jobs in the town centre yes. We could revive the existing office building such as the old prudential building and the old RBS building so support employment opportunities also could the top of the Victoria be changed from retail to business use?
London airport business park - need to consider recruiting business from out of area rather redeployment of southend businesses to rochford. This area could also be enhanced by housing but there needs to be improved transport links.
Temple Suppot and Stock road could be improved by access as these areas are often constrained by traffic conjestion. could there be a back road out of the business park at Temple Sutton

Need to encourage SME's and tech businesses into the area
Need to ensure that we are considerate of existing businesses and do not allow over capacity in categories of business which will not be sustainable (i.e. Convenience Stores, Restaurants)

New jobs should be spread around Southend near our transport hubs to try and eliminate traffic on our roads. Traffic on our roads during school and business opening and closing hours is a nightmare. If we continue to develop encouraging business into the town this issue requires urgent action.

Wherever possible new jobs should be focussed in existing sites, or where there is a need eg shops on new builds. Also in areas where there is good public transport links. However, homeworking should be encouraged to avoid the use of cars.

Job opportunities should meet the need of a changing society, with opportunities to work in a number of places. The areas mentioned in 3.1 are important. However, opportunities for new jobs need to be flexible.
