The Southend 2050 Ambition has been co-created with residents, local groups, partners and businesses\. The outcomes cannot be effectively delivered only by The Council\. As the process moves to co-designing proposals, co- production and delivery engaged and empowered citizens and partners are required to make the outcomes a reality\.
