βI find it incredibly surprising and also very disappointing.β
After much talk over recent months about Southend bidding to become the UK City of Culture in 2029, ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ Essex learns that Southend-on-Sea City Council is unlikely to submit a bid due to βthe growing financial challengeβ it faces.
In a statement, the council said the pressure of resources needed for social care means it canβt recommend making a bid.
The MP for Southend West, Anna Firth, tells ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ Essex she is surprised and very disappointed by the news.
Mrs Firth also gives ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ Essex her views on proposed changes to ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ local radio.
