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

Representation ID: 1281

Received: 21/07/2008

Respondent: Mr Clifford Haddy

Representation Summary:

It is all very well glibly referring to employment prospects (probably mostly sourced from outside Rochford) but what about the huge negative impact on our environment. We are 1.5 hours from Heathrow, 1.25 hours from Gatwick and 1 hour from Stansted. What on earth do we need an airport for?
