London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper
Representation ID: 2080
Received: 07/08/2008
Respondent: Mrs Karen Williams
In response to the issues raised under 1.4, may I register my firm objection to any suggestion that the airport development would be sustainable. Equally there is no substantive evidence that expansion would be a driver for sustainable growth. Quite the reverse. Echoing the decision made by the Leigh Councillors,no consideration has been given for the wider environmental implications/consequences for those living & visiting Leigh/Southend. Existing tourism would be adversely affected. It would be undeniably suicidal to alienate those who seek to recreate the halycion days of their youth - the zeitgeist underpinning the success of green, family friendly Cornwall/Devon.
