Yesterday, I was delighted to attend with the Mayor of Southend and fellow West Shoebury ward councillor Derek Jarvis the opening of the West Road Community Event and the formal launch of the West Road Community & Traders Association.
I have highlight previously on this blog that the key to breathing life in the West Road Shopping Area lied with the traders themselves and by coming together, produced a fantastic day which provided fun for all the family. So successful was the event, that a local resident in West commented to me that this was the busiest day that they had seen in West Road or many, many years.
There is a long way to go but this certainly is a very positive step in the right direction and I was more than delighted to be able to assist the group in getting all the necessary permissions to enable the event to take place.
