Have nothing against it being built, but does anyone really think a museum is going to be of interest ? I wonder what else will be there that will interest visitors, because if it doesnt serve the people visiting the seafront Im not sure what purpose it has?

With regards to SUFC this building is going to have conference facilities, that will be a direct competitor with Fossetts, but with a far better view.

Thoughts?

There's other places with conference facilities nearer the new stadium so I wouldn't be worried. 15% museum I believe. Car Park, offices and conference facilities for the rest.

Good idea in my mind.

A history of Southend maybe? I think it will be of interest to many many people

Weren't those SKIPP people campaigning against this?

For that reason I am glad it is going ahead.

There are also going to be various conference facilities at the new hotel at the airport I believe.

Isn't this where they are going to display the Saxon king artefacts?

Good place to show people burnt parts of the pier and an assortment of sea shells!
