Respondent: Mrs Kirsteen Newell
It is utter nonsense to say that this will help tourism - can you imagine someone flying to Southend on Sea for their holiday????
I don't believe that there will be 'significant' job opportunities - any small benefits will be far outweighed by the environmental damage and devastation to the quality of life of local people.
This is a splendid area; one of the reasons we moved here was to be near the tranquil Belfairs Woods. With no thought of local people and their quality of life, this airport expansion is being considered with purely selfish business motives at the forefront.
