Leigh-on-sea
Leigh-on-Sea is a civil parish in Essex. It is a district of Southend-on-Sea, with its own town council, and is at present the only civil parish within the district. The town is situated on the northern edge of the Thames estuary, being just several miles from the open waters of the North Sea and from the Kent coast. Featuring on the town's coastal area is a nature reserve at Two Tree Island and a centrally located beach alongside Bell Wharf. Leigh's foreshore is mostly seen as being an area with significant mud flats and creeks when the water is at low tide. Between the 1870s and the 1920s, Broadway, previously a residential street, was transformed into a commercial parade of shopfronts. In the 1930s, London Road and Leigh Road also became acknowledged as commercial roads, holding outlets, workshops, commercial properties, and amusement venues. As a result of the dominance of 24 Hr grocery stores and online shopping from the 1990s, a number of the town's independent firms underwent redevelopment, with bars, cafés, restaurants, galleries and gift shops substituting the majority of the traditional shops. Continuing urban regeneration continues to attract new locals to the town, along with planning to accommodate for the boost in Southend's increased population. With a population of over 20000, Leigh was graded by Rightmove's 2016 Happy at Home Index as the happiest area to live in Great Britain, with attention being drawn to the strong community spirit, a sense of belonging, and excellent access to sports and arts activities. A range of local activities are well established, such as the Leigh Regatta, occurring over one September weekend, the Leigh Folk Festival and the Leigh Art Trail.
