Southend-on-Sea Community Plan

The Southend Together Partnership is extremely proud of Southend. Our town is a successful and sought after location for residents, business and leisure visitors. We benefit from many local opportunities arising from our key waterfront position on the Thames Estuary and good road and rail links to London . We want to build on Southend's strengths and protect its unique identity and heritage.

The Southend on Sea Community Plan sets out a clear vision for all partners and commitments to aim for by 2020.  It was developed by the partners of Southend Together because all agencies, statutory, Voluntary and community sector and private sector have a role to play in achieving this vision, especially during a time of austerity.

There are 4 ambitions laid out in Southend's Community Plan:

1) To create a safer town, where people feel secure and confident to live.

2) To reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing across Southend and support all ages to lead independent lives and choose a healthy lifestyle.

3) To build strong, confident and proud communities who are empowered to take an active part in local decision making and have a positive relationship with each other.

4) To create a thriving and sustainable local economy, which extends opportunities to local residents and promotes prosperity throughout the borough.
