I am against any significant expansion as this will have a negative effect on the quality of living for most residents. In addition to this, there will be all manner of knock-on implications. A high probability of serious road congestion, pollution, disruption. Southend is geographically placed at 'the end of the line' in a geograpical 'dead end' due to it being bordered on 3 sides by water. Therefore there is only one direction in and out of Southend and that is from the west along the A127 and perhaps the A13. Anyone who travels these roads daily as I do will know that any passengers will have to avoid driving to Southend between 7:30am and 9:15am, or 3:30pm to 6:30 pm Monday to Friday. Also avoiding Bank Holiday weekends, and any sunny weekends and any days that Southend United are playing at home or they WILL miss their flights. Most people will NOT travel down by train. The location of Southend means it will have a small catchment for passengers, realistically people north of Chelmsford or west of Brentwood are most likely going to go to Stanstead which is a much easy journey with better connections. If the airport expands significantly I believe it will end up being a white elephant a few years on when people start deserting it. Allow it to continue as it is, or do something radically different on the land if the Airport claims it is not viable.
