James Duddridge, Member of Parliament for Rochford and Southend East, is delighted that the campaign for Southend to be awarded city status is still going strong.
C2C railways have joined the campaign and are naming one of their trains to support the ongoing campaign.
The Worshipful, The Mayor will be conducting a ceremony next week to name the train which will be named 'Southend – City-on-Sea’.
James said
“It is brilliant news that the campaign to secure city status for Southend is ongoing and it is fantastic news that C2C are supporting the campaign. I look forward to travelling on Southend –City- on –Sea into London!”
