Support for digital, creative and innovative industries development should take particular account of our strong local grassroots skills and talents - often found in individuals rather than companies or organizations.

If it is evidenced that these are strong areas to promote, then by all means do so, but not to the exclusion of all others

Yes plus aviation linked sectors should be included
Don't forget supporting fishing industry locally as it provides opportunities for tourism etc
Need to find a way to embed Southend Hospital into supply chain for new business opportunities linking to healthcare technology etc
Need to ensure Seaways development happens as current seafront offer is limited to sunny not damp weather days

Aboslutely. Digital, Cultural and Creative industries are becoming the cornerstone of this future generation, expressiveness and freedom are ultra-important qualities in today's societies, promoting and producing these can only be met with praise, and interest from anyone looking to express themselves through these industries. Healthcare technology should be focused on but only if it's intended to use. The controversy that arose in 2015 surrounding the £2.5 million PET-CT equipment used for detecting cancer is a great example here, the machine wasn't used at all, at such a high cost, and no doubt higher running cost. So the plans for healthcare technology should be explored, but only actioned if they are realistically going to be used. Engineering has been utilised beautifully around the town through the many developments that have been undertaken and progressed, tourism has definitely had a huge fall from grace. The air show being cancelled, crime increasing on the seafront and lack of support for the new Football stadium are a few points from many, however the development of the airport over the years somewhat makes up for this.

Tourism is an extremely important sector to promote however the industrial sector provides many opportunities for young people. Making it attractive for businesses and employees to work in Southend is very important and the current infrastructure has an important part to play.

Yes - working with local business such as KeyMed, allowing support business to grow around them.
Provide infrastructure to allow remote and home working to have a true connected community that would benefit local businesses

All industries need promoting to come and set themselves up in and around Southend. Diversification amongst industries will allow Southend and its residents to thrive in the future.

Recognise the opportunities the Thames Estuary Production Corridor brings, focus on creative induction through outputs, skills and production, this is where future opportunities lie, creative thinking will be at the forefront of all endeavours and Southend should be a leader in this.

These areas are important to the future of the borough. However, flexibility is important and the ability to adapt quickly to changes in trends and demand.

Promote any industry that benefits the local population because they will employ Borough residents.
