| 7 | Teresa Merrison | How will this encourage the arts in this town.
Why do we have to go down to their base line just for profit. Southend could be a better town if it had higher ideals for the people of the town.
So a big big NO to Hooteres |

| 19 | Anonymous | This is totally inappropriate for our town, it already has enough 'after dark' problems. This will only make it worse, how about approving a nice 'family' based enterprise!! |

| 21 | Paul Ilett | This is a completely inappropriate location for this type of venue. |
| 22 | Doreen Grant | There are enough bars/restaurants in Southend already and we do not need another, especially one with with the Hooters image. It would adversely affect other properties in the area and I think it could well cause more problems for the police |

| 24 | joanne colby | Lets keep southend respectable, like the Echo letter says too many family resteraunts nearby. If men want to pay to see scantily clad young girls they should be seen to go somewhere seedy. Southend is not the place, |
| 25 | Jacqueline Pilcher | I do not consider Southend needs a restaurant of this type, especially in the proposed area. |
| 26 | Martin Pilcher | I fail to see how it is classed as a "restaurant" when all they offer is junk style food, which is served by only female hostesses. Clearly the food is not the main attraction ! It will encourage the wrong type of client base for the town and give a poor image. It would not be a place I would take my family and the area proposed is certainly a poor choice. |
| 27 | Anonymous | We do not need another pub/club in southend, especially not a sleazy one of this nature, there are too many pubs,clubs and bars already. What Southend needs are more decent shops, which are sadly lacking at present. Banks, Building Societies and cheap shops abound, but if George goes, and possibly Sainsburys, what will be left in the town centre.. ..not a lot worth bothering with, no wonder so many people make the journey to Lakeside or Basilon. |
| 28 | Mr Anthony Martin | Great to see the Sophia L Deboick letter on page 10 of Tuesdays Echo, she has quite rightly exposed the corporate deception in this license application. Hooters will be a cynical front for adult entertainment, a perverts paradise right in the town centre, corperate manderines intent on profiting by shamelessly trading on female flesh, and exploiting young women. Local residents do have a right to be made aware of the adult nature of this application, unfortunately this has not been disclosed by the applicants, and local residents are in the dark. It is now probably to late, and sadly this misrepresentation will probably resut in another success for the corporate manderines and their expensive lawyers, to the detriment of all of Southend's residents and Southend as a whole. |
| 29 | Mr Eugene Martin | It is extraordinary, and breathtaking in its audacity, given the material to be found on the Hooters official website, for the applicants to assert that this format and concept is designed for familly entertainment, even going so far as to welcome children, and to include a children's menu.
The reality however, is clearly a concept cynically designed exclusively to attract a predominantly predatory adult male clientele to drink excessively, and one where young males under 18 will also be drawn to, and attempt to try to indulge in under age drinking. If this application is granted, which seems likely given that the police have not even made a formal objection, it will be a very sad and depressing day for the once proud town of Southend-on-Sea, and its residents. |
| 30 | Ken Willingale | The Centre of Southend needs more shops not yet another Bar/Pub/club. |
| 31 | John Reginald Lambert | Why can't Southend Borough Council try to foster a more upmarket image for Southend? The residents deserve it! |

| 43 | Anonymous | I agree that this potentially has serious safety issues for women in Southend. This also raises the possibility of disorder, with large groups of men descending on the town, particularly as some groups are likely to be from out of town I feel that this will only increase the likelihood of friction. |

| 47 | Samantha Cox | I think it is an absolute outrage that Hooters are even allowed to exist, never mind be allowed to build a restuarant in Southend. In the society we live in, where 2 women die a week at the hands of a partner or former partner, in which anoerixia, and bulemia are on the increase, objectification of women only adds to this. We need to seriously think about violence against and how this issue that affects so many women can be stopped, and not allow places such as Hooters to open or exist! |
| 48 | Mr V & Mrs E Thompson | We do-not any more corruption of young & those not able to see how it leads into a one way trip to a lost eternity. |
