520 _aResearch undertaken by Sheffield Hallam University "The seaside economy" reveals that coastal towns have adapted well to economic and social changes. Assesses the value of tourism and the move away from the traditional British holiday to conference, trade, short breaks and day trips. Statistics reveal that in the last 30 years, 360 000 people of working age have moved to the coastal towns. Poor public transport and road links and quality of housing are highlighted as the main problems facing resorts. EU funding has also helped enhance the prospects of some resorts such as Southport and Cleethorpes. Southend-on-Sea is heavily dependant on the day-trip trade.
