Canvey Island's bandstand was refurbished a few years ago, before 2009 for sure, by Castle Point Borough Council at a cost of about £165,000. Contemporary newspaper reports suggest that some criticism of the cost, the usefulness, and the small size of the refurbished bandstand, was expressed by members of the local Canvey Island town council and local residents. The site behind the bandstand and beyond the blue hoarding is currently being redeveloped for residential use. Just to the right of the bandstand the black pole on the far pavement is a solar-powered road sign.
