Summer came early for #Southend and its traders this Easter with soaring temperatures and the return of the Southend Shakedown motorcycle event making it the busiest in recent memory. https://t.co/QXx5lzV7gA

Massive day for the residents of Southend, over 1,000 additional homes to be provided in the heart of the town centre.

Been a long hard slog, and full credit to the #BetterQueensway team but delighted to have driven this project through its final stages to 🖊 over the last year.
