SECTION 122 -
LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1972
APPROPRIATION OF LAND FROM OPEN
SPACE TO HIGHWAY PURPOSES
ALL THE LAND BETWEEN
PRIORY CRESCENT HIGHWAY
(NORTH OF THE RAILWAY BRIDGE)
AND THE RAILWAY BOUNDARY

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is proposing to improve the highway at Priory Crescent, Southend-on-Sea, involving the creation of a dual carriageway and new bridge over the railway line. This would necessitate the open space land between the highway boundary of Priory Crescent (north of the railway bridge) and the boundary of the railway land ("the Land") being appropriated to highway purposes pursuant to S.122 of the Local Government Act 1972.

The Land is owned by Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and is currently held as public open space under the Open Spaces Act 1906.

Therefore, the Council hereby gives notice of its intention to appropriate all of the Land from open space to highway purposes in accordance with Section 122(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972.

A plan showing the Land to be appropriated can be viewed at the Technical and Environmental Services Department reception on the 10th floor of the Civic Centre at the address below.

Any objections to the proposed appropriation or on the question of whether the Land is required for present purposes, should be sent to the Chief Executive and Town Clerk at the address below by 5th September 2002.

J.K.M. Krawiec, Chief Executive and Town Clerk,
Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Civic Centre,
Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, Essex SS2 6ER.
