London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 7612

Received: 14/05/2009

Respondent: Mr Roy Fitchew

Representation Summary:

This report is entirely based on information that is now out of date. BAA are forecasting that due to the economic downturn, passenger numbers are falling at many regional airports and small airlines are likely to close with inevitable redundancies . I strongly object to extending the runway or expanding the airport that will bankrupt this town. There is nothing to gain from this lame duck and too much to lose on economic and environmental grounds.
