I think we should be cautious about further zoning- in a way this has partially happened with SEC & UoE/ Forum etc . and also Seaway, if it hopefully happens will be leisure with some residential
Feel we are going to need flexible approach across the centre as commercial property market faces challenges with retail operations reducing - so a mixed approach but any residential ideally to be above other uses ground floor premises

a) Yes
b) Yes, but not exclusive zones. There should be a mixture in all areas and specifically ideas to break up the centre Southend High Street Scene e.g. covered parts, street cafe scene. The areas running down the middle of the High Street could be better utilised e.g. market, outdoor eatery areas.
