Councillors and town planners have held behind-the-scenes talks over flattening the Queensway Estate, which houses more than 600 people, in a major revamp of the heart of Southend, the Echo can reveal.Because that could quite easily solve more of Southend’s problems than just those with housing.
…
Ian Gilbert, deputy leader of Southend Council, said: “The council is looking at a number of options for the Queensway site.”

Are they going to clear the residents out first?
I did a quick google - this place has everything!
Sutton Road itself is home to a butchers, a bakers, a chemist, a cafe, a pub, Indian and Chinese takeaways, hairdressers, tattoo parlour and a cycle shop.
(From a guide to help those new to the estate find those everyday essentials.)
o/t have you seen this yet?

Build a fence of barbed wire around the perimeter. And make sure the locals are in the neighbourhood. Giro day is a good bet as the residents will be the pub. Then drop a neutron bomb in the centre of town.
ONE Butcher, ONE pub. For 600 people??? And NO mention of a Buckys/white lightning shop!!?? (Or a bookies shop either.)
FT, don't worry:
A short walk from the three tower blocks is Southchurch Road home again to many independent traders such as an Off Licence open to 11:00 at night, betting shops, takeaways of all types and the pubs make up this gateway to the Town Centre... The Mecca bingo club along with Farmfoods, Lidl and Matalan are a short walk away on the Greyhound Estate.
Aha. That's O.K then. Keeps the chavs happy, and quiet.
"Are they going to clear the residents out first?"
I kind of hope not...
"I did a quick google - this place has everything!"
Errr, yes. It certainly does!
Except colonic irrigation... ;)
"Keeps the chavs happy, and quiet."
Well, not that quiet.
