London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 8915

Received: 23/04/2009

Respondent: Mr Derek Groom

Representation Summary:

On behalf of my wife and I, I wish to object to the overall proposal to extend the current facilities at Southend Airport.
To increase the present volume of air traffic will create unnecassry noise and air pollution.
In an era when we are are attempting to find greener ways of travel we should confine our current airports to their present locations and size.
The increase to our road use for the airport would make the current heavy load unbearable.
If there is a need to provide additional employment this can be done without also increasing our airport.
