Respondent: Leigh-on-Sea Town Council
Leigh Town Council feels there should be a strengthened policy to retain the existing bungalow stock in the Borough as the present stock in existence is being eroded. Additionally we would suggest the Borough include a criteria in new housing development designs, the ability for adaptation.

The comment of Leigh Town Council is to use local or regional labour/ firms in providing future housing. There should be a Borough Council budget for purchasing empty/ unused properties for social housing either directly or for investment purposes i.e. the properties are developed and then the profit is put into social housing ‘pot’.

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

Section 4 – How best do you think we can enhance the visitor offer in Southend to make it England’s leading coastal tourism destination?
Allocate and promote tourism elsewhere in the Borough to ensure diversity. The overall tourism of the Borough needs a holistic approach because it is important for inclusivity. The beaches are Southend’s biggest tourism site but the Borough needs attractions that compliment them and are ‘all weather’. It is important to protect buildings and heritage all over the Borough. It seems that nothing is promoted elsewhere in the Borough other than central Southend. By having that approach, it only promotes Southend as a day tripped destination.
