AMBITIOUS £4m works to transform, upgrade and completely modernise a major gateway into Southend town centre are now taking shape, much to the delight of high street shoppers. Builders have been working hard to help bring the next phase of the project to life, which will see the road “realigned” to restrict vehicles and encourage visitors to move freely about the town. The project – otherwise known as the Southend Central Area Transport Scheme (S-CATS) – will also see new access restrictions in place on Southend High Street from London Road which are set to be controlled by CCTV and a rising bollard system.
