I see Southend has been awarded the Purple Flag, to show our local nightlife is safe and entertaining.
I must say, having been a street pastor in both London and Southend, I can only agree with the judges’ comments about the level of cooperation between agencies.
A lot of work and effort goes in each weekend to try and make sure the High Street and seafront are safe and secure.
This is unusual and should be applauded.
I understand only 30 of these flags have been awarded and Southend is the first town in Essex to be awarded it. Well done Southend. It’s another reason to be proud of the town.
