The council has employed architects AEW to design and build its seafront eyesore, sorry restaurant with museum on the side.

It described the Manchester firm as prestigious – so prestigious it doesn’t even have a working website!

I have tried several times in the past few months to log on to the AEW site.

Every time I am met with the same message “page under construction”.

What sort of tin-pot outfit can’t even get its website up-and-running?

Are we really supposed to trust them to build a huge submarine car park, sorry conference centre with attached museum?

By contrast Southend group SKIPP, made up of volunteers with little time or money have a very professional website which is updated regularly www.skipp-saxonking.org
