London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper

Representation ID: 973

Received: 05/07/2008

Respondent: Mr Chris Taylor

Representation Summary:

The field on which the airport is based dates to WW1 when a fighter took off and shot down a Zeppelin. Since then the airfield has been through many phases, but today still supports the employment of around 1500 employees. Short of returning the field to 19th century agriculture there is no other option than to adopt the proposals and objectives.
