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

Representation ID: 976

Received: 09/07/2008

Respondent: Charlotte Williams

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed high growth of Southend Aiport. As well as my previous objections as we live in the current flight path, I can not see how having another London City Aiport or mini Stanstead in Southend is going to be realistic in terms of its location. The roads into Southend are congested enough and I don't see how the building of a railway station is going to entice City travellers and holiday makers to the airport when City Aiport is extremely convenient for short haul trips and Stanstead has the potential and existing infrastructure to expand.
