I was horrified to learn many of those in Southend did not have a say in the parking restrictions survey.

Surely, if you own a business and have staff who drive to work, put back in to the local economy and support others, you should also have a say in how parking is decided across the borough.

Our councillors are here to provide us with vision.

Instead, we are left with a concrete jungle, empty shops and a deserted centre.
