LSA would like to see improvements made to the top of the high street to entice passengers arriving from the airport via. Southend Victoria Station into the High Street area before making their way to the seafront.
Better signage is needed to encourage visitors to many of the bars and restaurants located in the side streets.
Better signage should be considered from the Queensway area to the High Street via. Odeon/New Look alleyway.

LSA supports the development of new hotels, tourist attractions and would strongly encourage the development of a dedicated conference and exhibition centre.
LSA has the opportunity to host and attract aviation conferences which would bring interest for the town from other countries. The centre and supporting infrastructure would need to be able to host 500+ delegates and should be positioned in the best place possible to highlight Southend's key tourist sites.

We support the regeneration of this area as it is the entrance point to Central Southend from the airport by road.
The area currently is not appealing and is run down.
The airport is keen to push inbound passengers into the town before heading to London and this area needs to be more attractive in appearance in order for us to market Southend's tourism sites.

Overall LSA strongly supports the redevelopment of the areas outlined in the SCAAP documents and is pleased to see that improvements are planned for the area which will in turn make it easier to attract inbound visitors.
