Jobs woe for Southend (From Southend Standard)

• "Southend's tory council have completely ignored the employment issue.
  10 years ago Victoria Avenue was a bustling central business district employing thousands, but now it stands mostly derelict and ghetto like.
  What a welcoming site it is to visitors to the borough!
  Proof that this council has ignored the issue is that they appear to make no effort to encourage new business (employment) to the town instead opting for the tory ethos (make the quick buck) and let all development be for flats and the associated council tax revenue it returns.
  Another example for the long list of Southend's tory council's failings for the borough."
