London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper
Representation ID: 2431
Received: 07/08/2008
Respondent: Inflite Southend Ltd
Representation Summary:
Expansion is the obvious answer, with this more people will visit and bring an much needed boost to the local economy. Certainly for short haul flights Southend should be a major consideration for not only tourist flights, but business too as central London can be reached by train in under 50 minutes.
Full text:
The environmental consequences of expanding must be thoroughly investigated, noise pollution, fuel pollution and their effect on nature. Still, I believe that by expanding Southend this will hopefully alleviate the already overstretched Gatwick, Stansted and Heathrow particularly on short haul European routes.
