London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 10817
Received: 09/05/2009
Respondent: Leigh Town Council
The target of 7380 jobs is too high. There is no indication of where these jobs will come from or who will fund the new jobs, or what type of job will be created, or whether the jobs will create further in and out commuting.
These jobs could simply relocate existing jobs from older less viable areas.
The proposed 50/50 split of new jobs between Rochford and Southend looks more like a political imperative than a realistic assessment
