The only way to really improve the A127 is to build a bypass.

Southend Area Bus User Group (SABUG) represents bus users in Rochford District, Southend Borough and Castle Point Borough.
Accordingly, our comments are restricted to public transport.
We welcome the proposed railway station. Re page 46, para. 4.5, we suggest that bus operators be encouraged to divert their services, particularly Arriva Services 7 and 8, to the new station and that a proper rail/bus interchange is provided.

Re page 49, para. ix, whilst we are content that car parking should be provided, we request that this will not be to the detriment of the rail/bus interchange.

LSACL believes that the JAAP should more fully address the issue of transport. As a first step the JAAP could consider the Airport Surface Access Strategy. A number of comments will be made about the transport issues related to each of the Scenarios.

It seems that the present road infrastructure is barely adequate to support present traffic levels and increased activity at the airport will only exacerbate the issue and no doubt lead to a demand for changes. Thus the implications of any airport expansion are far reaching and the no doubt detrimental impacts must be comprehensively investigated for both the short and long term, they must not be confined solely to what development of the airport may (or may not) be undertaken neither entered into blindly.
