Survey interaction
The main consultation was delivered through the Southend-on-Sea Borough Council online consultation portal. A total of 975 residents and businesses participated. The responses varied and of that 308 were informed which indicates they had visited the project page and viewed the survey and documents, 151 responded online, 791 people were aware (clicked on the project page) but chose not to comment or look at the survey or supporting documents.
The overall consensus from those responding is that they strongly support and understand what the Council is trying to achieve and what is required to cover existing provisions within these areas.
Discussions are still ongoing on a way forward which will follow the Councils cabinet process.
