And I’ll ask again it’s nearly April grass is well and truly growing and should be a lush meadow now.. it’s almost that once PC was reached and the principle contractors obligations have been met Southend don’t have the money to maintain the new facilities hence why no photos … go on Southend put my mind at rest

Looks like the Rochford application is trundling along - no objection from Highways at Southend City Council, however she had to chase them for a response!

TBF, having had a fair amount of contact with Martin Warren he was always very responsive and very good at what he does, and he does it with a good helping of common sense which can be a rarity in local government.

I have not said anything before , a few years ago I was speaking to someone I had been to school with and known for years was and still is on the Council . He told me that the new ground would Never be built .

That may be true but in reality what was said a few years ago is not necessary relevant now as opinions as well as some of those involved change.

Three things:

1. This was just one person's opinion, not a statement of fact.
2. This was a few years ago, and things have actually progressed a lot since then.
3. Any reason for the capital "N" in "Never"?
