London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper
Representation ID: 1948
Received: 06/08/2008
Respondent: Mr David Lambe
I strongly oppose any expansion of southend airport on the grounds of the increase in aircraft noise which will become intolerable for all those close to the airport and on the flight paths.
Environmentally this is the wrong direction to take - increasing air traffic causes pollution, increases noise levels, uses a vast quantity of fuel. Road traffic will also increase causing more pollution, noise and accidents.
There are already sufficient airports within the South East â€"Gatwick, Heathrow, Stanstead, City
Tax payers should be allowed to vote yes or no to expansion first.
