Can only do this is we have considered the impact on the economic prosperity of the area. eg if we were to redevelop vanguard way for housing then we need to consider where the businesses will go as the people in Shoebury will not and can not travel far so without the industry in Shoebury the poverty and social problems will increase. Towerfield could be invested in as an industrial area to support more employment in this area. Currently it is not clear if this is an area that will long term be industrial.
Need to support the transport links to Shoebury as most businesses in this area complain that the road conjection on the A127 is impacting on their business.
Need to share the long term plans for the area
Need improvements in public realm in these areas to enhance the areas

This decision would need to be linked to the plans for Marine Plaza and also Seaways.
Lack of investment at Chalkwell which could create more of a link between leigh and southend and widen the appeal of the area

Improved use of the area outside of Debenhams this is a closed off area and could be used to invite visitors up to the Town centre. the next stage of the high street is also dead with a boring wall which belongs to Debenhams on the right with no entrance or areas for interaction and on the left is now a gym. Princess Caroline house is also of no interest and could be enhanced from the high street. There is a lanes area that could be developed here.
Bus Station damages the flow of traffic around the town centre and makes access to the Tylers Car park difficult to access.
Need improved access from Kursal to Town centre with improved signage and more inviting access to town centre.
