One of the legacies left to many areas of the millennium celbrations are the little known Millennium Beacons. Sadly many of these across the country have been left to go to rack and ruin and sadly are becoming an eyesore in most parts of the coutry.
An interesting news story has appeared on the Southend Lib Dems website regarding Millennium Beacons being brought back into use for the London 2012 Olympics. Cllr Graham Longley who is the Lib Dem parliamentry candidate for Rochford & Southend East is backing the cause to get the Millennium Beacon in Shoebury restored for the 2012 Olympics.
There is a snag to this - Shoebury doesn't have a Millennium Beacon! There was a beacon used on the Pier for the Y2K celebrations but was taken down after. If Cllr Longley came out of Leigh bunker once in a while instead of every four of five years when there is a General Election on he would know these things.
