London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 7941

Received: 10/04/2009

Respondent: Rochford and Southend East Constituancy Labour Party

Representation Summary:

The need for urgent improvements to the A127 has been accepted for many years. An increase in airport traffic will result in deadlock for much of the day.

Using a Park and Ride facility in Nestuda Way should be used for the benefit of Southend as well as the airport. With little adaptation to the road layout, buses could take car occupants down Westbourne Grove to Chalkwell, along the sea front to the Kursaal, up to the Town and the bus station then up Victoria Avenue and back to Nestuda Way.
