There will be more challenges ahead and I believe the team is well set to welcome people back safely again.”
Mark Bartrip, franchisee of both McDonald’s High Street premises and Chair of the Southend BID said “We are really pleased to have appointed Chris onto the board.

He will be a great asset to the town and the BID.”
