Representation ID: 16186

Received: 02/11/2009

Respondent: EEDA

Representation Summary:

EEDA welcomes policy ED2 for London Southend Airport and the Councils joint approach with Southend Borough Council to develop and Area Action Plan. This approach should ensure that the role of the airport and its potential as a focus and catalyst for economic growth can be fully harnessed.
