Respondent: Mr E A Clarke
The vision is flawed. Southend is a commuter town plus summer holiday focus for day-trippers and the like all contributing in large part to the local economy.That contribution depends on a viable road and rail infrastructure which is increasingly congested particularly in the summer months and will worsen from people arriving to spend their money elsewhere.More noise, congestion and pollution must undermine the Southend Core Strategy concerning the quality of life for residents.We are already the 7th most congested urban area in the UK. Extravagant employment claims pepper airport expansion plans countrywide and are never realised.
