Is still some nuisance with boy racers and bikers, in various places. There was a meeting

with Nick Ward and the residents who live nearby the Shoeburyness Hotel regarding the

noise nuisance and other disruptions. Noise meters have been issued to neighbours for

monitoring purposes.

Hospital Road, Chapel Road and Parade Walk highlighting the no exits to High Street

And East Beach, also parking information on Parade Walk. The internal and external

the hedge to a maximum height of three feet.
