Opportunity for 614 VGS at Wethersfield?
A new 'mega prison' could be built on Wethersfield MOD site in Braintree and Tendring (From Braintree and Witham Times)
If the option for a prison was to go ahead and it was to be built in the right place then that might pave the way for all or part of the airfield to be retained for the VGS. Even a sizeable prison would need only a relatively small portion of the MDP Wethersfield estate. A prison might even be contained in the area away from the airfield. An idea anyway, and a compromise solution.
