Have your say ........

Take part in our Quick Poll. This month we are asking whether you think local sports facilities give good value for money?

The Essex and South Suffolk draft Shoreline Management Plan covers approximately 440km of coast from Landguard Point in Felixstowe to Two Tree Island in the Thames Estuary, including Southend. It will determine the best ways to look after this part of the coast in a sustainable way for the next 100 years. Consultation (Closes 18.06.10) helps us explore the main issues relating to erosion and flood risk and helps us identify those that affect local communities and the best ways to manage the risks.
How to get involved - Public drop-ins are happening along the coast. Come along, pick up a summary of the draft plan, ask questions and discuss the recommendations with members of the project team.
