Support
Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)
Representation ID: 3899
Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
Proposals for the comprehensive development of London Southend Airport are supported, although a commitment to work to mitigate any adverse impacts on the environment or local amenities should be clearly stated. Despite the current difficult economic conditions, there are businesses based at the Airport that have significant vacancies for aviation engineers. The Core Strategy needs to further consider how it may support the take-up of these jobs through adult learning and re-training opportunities in light of likely redundancies in other sectors.
