The annual Southend air show, which attracts thousands of visitors each year, could be dropped by a council.

Conservative-led Southend Borough Council needs to save more than £10m next year to balance its books.

Budget proposals include a 1.75% rise in council tax and losing 80 full time posts, 41 of which are currently unfilled vacancies.

A decision on the budget proposals will be made at a full meeting of the council on 28 February.

Sad, but we are in a recession. Better that goes than services to pensioners.
