We attended Southend Pride on Saturday 13 July, where we had the chance to speak with many of you, hear your feedback, and join in with the celebrations for the LGBTQ+ community.
Alongside some free giveaways, we had a lolly stick poll which asked people which local service they were most concerned about, to help us understand what matters most to Southend residents. The results are below:
G.P services - 37
Mental health services - 67
A&E - 33
Pharmacy services - 2
Maternity services - 6
Treatment waiting lists - 45
The results of polls like this, and the one conducted at Hamlet Court Road in Harmony, support us in deciding which priorities to focus on for the next year.
Here are a few comments we gathered from the event:
