London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper

Representation ID: 1447

Received: 26/07/2008

Respondent: Mr T Clark

Representation Summary:

Cycle routes are virtually non-existant in the area. The ones in place on the arterial roads are used routinely for car parking, and are also rarely swept of glass etc: they are virtually unuseable. Roads in the town are notoriosly busy and most potential cyclists are offput by the perceived and real dangers. Aggressive car driving due to the traffic density is common. Pollution can be significant for cyclists.
Bus Services are good and frequent, their use should be encouraged by airport firms.
