The Estuary Airport bites the dust

I was delighted to hear confirmation that the proposed airport in the Thames Estuary has been dismissed. It was a ridiculous suggestion which would have been financially undeliverable and harmful to the environment and economy of South Essex. Opposition to the proposal was consistent across the Southend Council chamber and we made appropriate representations against the plan from the outset. Pity we can't see a similar common sense approach on the new Thames Crossing.
