You obviously have never visited Southend! I'm not knocking the town of my birth, but there aren't many areas within the Borough that would put it at the top of your list for retirement.
I agree though that the SEN transformation will probably have had only a small positive effect on house prices this year. The objectors such as SAEN had claimed, of course, that prices would plummet over vast swathes of the town and that certainly doesn't seem to be the case.
