London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 5771

Received: 26/03/2009

Respondent: Gemma Cudlipp

Representation Summary:

I object. Airport expansion = bad for Southend and surrounding areas - we would suffer far lower house prices, fuel pollution, reduced profit from leisure and tourism, and the constant drone of freight planes day and night would be intolerable. What will local residents get to compensate for this massive blow? If I was a lawyer I would be putting together a case and getting thousands of signatories to sign up and claim compensation.
