Southend in 60 Seconds is our regular bite size update videos delivered by members of the administration.

In January we are launching the Our Southend enewsletter, a monthly round up of news, events and opportunities for residents to get involved across the Southend-on-Sea community.

Visit our Civic Pride web page, giving Southenders a simple way to discover volunteering opportunities and take part in community activity across the city.

See photos from events and news items across the city on our official Flickr account.
