London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 5936

Received: 29/03/2009

Respondent: Mrs Fleur Derbyshire-Fox

Representation Summary:

Object Issue 2: Developing business parks is a separate issue to direct airport employment. The jobs at Saxon Business Park will not be 'new' jobs - merely businesses relocated from Eldon Way Industrial Estate. Whether other jobs will be filled by local people is unclear. I am concerned about the loss of flying clubs for the community and the Air Show which would both amount to job losses and the erosion of community activities.
