London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 13329
Received: 15/05/2009
Respondent: Mrs Debbie Postlethwaite
The entire process is ill-considered and fails to consider properly the needs and wishes of the residents of the electorate. The proposals will result in excessive pollution in many forms, overstate limited economic benefits and ignore the reality of falling air traffic at other regional airports. The runway extension is not long enough to accommodate the less noisy modern passenger jets at full payload being only a smokescreen to get in noisy polluting cargo flights all through the night.
