London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper
Representation ID: 1363
Received: 24/07/2008
Respondent: F Schwartzbard
Any extension of the runway will lead to larger aircraft and more flights over a densely populated part of Southend with a consequent increase in noise. I am also concerned about the large number of schools under the flightpath. The quoted figure of 40 passenger flights a day is I feel incorrect. If you check the Southampton website 1.97m passengers a year gives 128 flights a day.
