London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper

Representation ID: 2213

Received: 08/08/2008

Respondent: gillian moore

Representation Summary:

of the options presented this is the only one that I might possibly support
However I wish to qualify this by stating that we are not obliged to cater for the predicted demand for air travel. The sector makes a disproportionate contribution to climate change and should be included in targets for cutting emissions There should not be an assumption that there is a requirement to develop the airport
Options 1, 11 and 111 will undoubtedly act as drivers for increased CO2 emissions at a time when national, regional and local government should act to prevent damaging climate change.
