Respondent: Southend-on-Sea Borough Council - Parks and Open Spaces

Representation Summary:

The inclusion of outdoor work spaces with free wifi could not only benefit Small and Medium Sized Enterprises it could also help with the health and well being of those who work in the borough. This type of facility should be included in new business parks and office developments. Developer funding could also be used to provide these in pubic spaces.

4.1 Allocate and promote new sites for additional tourism/leisure developments in the central seafront area or elsewhere in the Borough. Where do you think these should be focussed

Representation ID: 3673

Received: 02/04/2019

Respondent: Southend-on-Sea Borough Council - Parks and Open Spaces

Representation Summary:

The leisure, culture and tourism offer should be borough wide and not just focused on the seafront. The town has potential opportunities to encourage visitors to experience more of the town and to stay for more than a day.

Areas such as Shoebury and the towns parks could play a greater part in tourism.
