London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 6183
Received: 31/03/2009
Respondent: South East Essex Friends of the Earth
Neil Punnett should realise that aviation accounts for 13% of current UK carbon emissions. With the Government seeking to double aviation by 2030, aviation alone would exceed the carbon limits in the Climate Change Act.
Rick Jackson should note that the "Saxon Business Park" is entirely separate from the proposed airport expansion and will provide non-aviation based employment. See "Airport jobs: false hopes, cruel hoax" by Brendon Sewill for a more realistic assessment of the employment opportunities an airport can provide.
