Southend Council has revealed the investment package as part of its capital investment plan. The councillor responsible for highways has called the proposed £50m investment over the next five years a game-changer for residents and drivers. The council says significant new investment of £21m is being proposed up to 2025/26 in the capital investment programme, including £14m for pavements and £7m for road improvements. A further £29m, made up of £19m for pavements and £10m for roads could also be invested. Together this would represent an average investment of £10m a year for highway improvements over the next five years - a significant increase on the average of £1.6m a year invested in highways over the last five years.
