London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 12888

Received: 15/05/2009

Respondent: J Trent

Representation Summary:

Most specialist workers will need to be brought in from other areas as short of a couple of apprenticeship schemes for youths and un-employable youngsters, there is little aircraft maintenance expertise in the area.
Ask yourselves, are we developing the airport to provide jobs, or because we actually need an airport? Southend should be proud of it's Seaside Town reputation and build on that (i.e. put money into the pier etc)not try to make the Town something that it is not.
