Council fee threatens Leigh-on-Sea’s free beach Pilates

Free Sunday Pilates at Bell Wharf beach in Leigh-on-Sea, attended by 100+ people, could be forced to stop after Southend-on-Sea Council demanded an £85 weekly fee and extensive paperwork; the organizer says she cannot afford the cost, while the council says formal approvals are needed to ensure safety and proper use of public spaces and is open to discussion.
