Pain in the R's


No doubt the view here will be that if you don’t like aircraft noise, then don’t buy a house near an airport.


Than's correct..There was talk of building homes on the old Pontings site next to Blackpool Airport, had that come to pass - It's would have been there own fault if BLK expanded.


Another view could be that Stobart’s investment in Southend, which
was done for profit, has blighted lives and devalued homes and so Stobart should
pay compensation.
Another view is don't buy a house next to or near to an airport, if you don't like noise.

Two questions..

How many take off and landings from SEN per day now in off peak season?, and for that matter on peak season?.

If a jey passed over, how long would you hear significant noise?..One minute, or a few seconds?.
