London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 10754

Received: 08/05/2009

The additional traffic generated by 2 millian passenger movement per year will need a considerable expansion of road infrastructure since the narrow corridor serviced by the rail link will not supply the passenger numbers.
