Representation ID: 1578
Received: 30/07/2008
Respondent: Renaissance Southend
The growth of the airport and the expansion of the adjoining employment areas, promoted by Scenario 3, will need to be supported by improvements to the public transport facilities. This should provide an opportunity to develop a transport interchange at the airport that includes "Park and Ride" that will support the airport passengers and the local employment areas. The improved transport infrastructure and facilities would help in achieving modal from private car.
Other Scenarios are unlikely result in a major investment in the transport infrastructure that will contribute to any modal shift.
