London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 10830
Received: 09/05/2009
Respondent: Mr Andrew Reynolds
Emphatically opposed to the airport proposals. Absolutely no need for further development. Currently and for years ahead, the existing facilities are more than adequate for any demand. This area is already more than adequately served for passengers and freight by Stansted, Gatwick, Luton and London City airports (and not forgetting Heathrow). They are all easily accessible by existing road and rail transport facilities. S/E Essex is already bursting at the seams with road traffic. The extra generated by a larger airport (including much more polluting freight lorries) would more than offset any reduction from Essex people and businesses using it.
