Respondent: Mr Chris Taylor
Employment in the area is a good mix of industrial and blue/white collar jobs.
The specific employment at Southend Airport is
is important, but focussed in engineering.
Development as apassenger airport is severely limited by the short runway which limits the type of aircraft used by the budget airlines for example.Existing proposals for expansion have not come to fruition. Liason with Southend should be considered to uses the site for vital housing
In any case there is potential development land to the NW of the airfield because of the disused runway in that area.
