London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 10557

Received: 11/05/2009

Respondent: Renaissance Southend

Representation Summary:

Renaissance Southend Ltd supports the need for a comprehensive transport strategy to underpin the sustainability of the JAAP. This strategy should develop the potential for SERT, as well as rail and other alternatives to car borne journeys to assist in encouraging a modal shift, particularly in terms of the employees working at the Airport and Business Park, which are likely to have a more significant impact on the transport network at peak hours than the proposed increase in airport passenger numbers.
