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

Dear Sir,

Re: London Southend Airport and Environs JAAP Consultation

I am writing in response to the JAAP Issues and Options report currently under consultation and would comment in answer to a number of the questions as follows:

Q4.2 How can the airport best be developed to drive and support the local economy

The airport can and should be allowed to develop to offer affordable scheduled services to allow both local residents to use it to go on their holidays and to draw tourists into Southend to allow them to enjoy the facilities we have and will increasingly be getting as we develop the area in the future. In addition, we feel a fully functional regional airport will in itself attract business to the area which will, in turn add to the regeneration of Southend.

Q4.10 What do you consider to be the transport priorities for the JAAP

The airport area must be effectively integrated into the public transport network to reduce reliance of car use. In addition to support both the airport and the broader success of Southend, roads into the Borough must continue to be significantly improved if the regeneration of the area is to succeed.

Q5.1 What is your preferred scenario for the future of the Southend Airport Area

Scenario 3 is the only scenario to consider a runway extension. This small extension would enable affordable services for local people to go on their holidays and bring people into Southend to allow them to enjoy our seafront and all of the other attractions in the area. In addition the opportunity to grasp the employment potential of the airport and its environs should not be missed.
