Sir David Amess: Southend city bid would be a 'fitting tribute' to MP
Making Southend a city would be the " perfect tribute" to The Memory of Sir David Amess , colleagues said.
Sir David, who represented the Southend West constituency, was stabbed as he held a regular Friday meeting with constituents in Leigh-on-Sea.
He had championed Southend's bid for city status as part of The Queen 's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
" If There is any justice, then Southend will be successful, " He Said last month.
The Civic honour will be.
" I think it would be a very fitting tribute to Sir David, particularly as it was something he had campaigned for, for a long Time , " Conservative councillor for Southend Borough Council James Courtenay said:
" I suspect local politicians from across the political divide will actively support it.
" I wouldn't be surprised if A Number of his Westminster colleagues were to do so as Well , given that every Time - Well it felt like it anyway - he stood up in Parliament, he would ask if Southend could be made a city. "
Liberal Democrat Carole Mulroney, council member for tourism and culture, told The Bbc : " Sir David Was a figurehead, he was incredibly passionate about it.
" Southend welcomes millions of people every year, it has a really successful arts festival and a huge wealth of talent. You name it - There 's a club for it. "
She Said Sir David's killing was " a true tragedy" describing him as a " jolly chap, very witty, above all a constituency MP who reached out to an enormous amount of people. "
Sir David said at The Time of the bid launch: " Southend is unique and city status would provide long overdue recognition of what we have to offer.
" The longest pleasure pier in The World , a huge wealth of local talent in The Arts and culture industries and a centre of educational excellence, are just a few of the things that make Southend special. "
Southend Borough Council is currently led by a coalition of Labour, Liberal Democrat and Independent councillors - while the Conservatives have The Most councillors.
It became a unitary authority in 1998 and has a of More Than 183,000.
Chelmsford became Essex's first city in 2012 as part of The Queen 's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Just an hour up the A12, Colchester - Once the capital of Roman Britain - has just submitted its at The Fourth attempt, as has Milton Keynes .
