Read on TwitterLast night I was honoured and delighted to join a Zoom call organised by @ConcreteSX , a new community arts collective in the town, around ideas of how to bring the Kursaal back into use as a community and arts hub.

Back when the bowling alley in the Kursaal closed (the first time), I set out a desire to see the lease brought back to the Council and a wide-ranging public consultation undertaken to make the most of all the ideas that residents have for the future of our town to be.
Last night I witnessed exactly that sort of a consultation, having grown out organically from the community. The passion and the imagination on show was amazing to see, and I am very happy to pledge my support to Concrete Culture going forward with this.
The practical and commercial obstacles are still present, but I do believe that there is a way forward to save the Kursaal for the people of Southend. After last night, I am confident there& #39;s the will to do so.
Even in these grim times, there is a noticeable glow growing stronger on the horizon of the future of Southend.
I strongly urge everyone to check out Concrete Culture& #39;s website, and have a look at what they& #39;re doing: https://concreteculture.co/ ">https://concreteculture.co/">...
