Residents urged to have their say over future of Leigh land
12:15pm Wednesday 26th September 2012 in News
RESIDENTS are being given another chance to have their say on the future of a prime piece of land in Leigh.
Following a three-day public consultation in June Southend Council officials have decided to give people who could not attend a chance to air their views on what should happened to the site in Elm Road.
The piece of land contains the community centre, police station, youth centre as well as a public car park.
Jonathan Garston, councillor responsible for planning, said: "The buildings in Elm Road are very important to Leigh residents and are a part of the area's heritage.
"We want to ensure local people have their opportunity to say what they think should happen to the buildings so we can draft a set of planning options for further public consultation."
The drop-in session will take place on Saturday (September 29) at Leigh Library in Broadway West from 10am to 3pm.

Certainly would solve the dreadful parking problems in Leigh.
Also make it FREE or a niminal charge for a couple of hours parking..
That's the way to bring life back into town centres which it is what they should do with Southend Car Parks or at minimum make the charge ZERO for the first 2 hours.
