If you want to make sure they get through security....
so thats bag drop. Then a wait from distance where you can’t see them whilst you wait for a text saying they made it through
yup all airports should provide free parking for that

Well here's confirmation of the intention, no facts though.

Opinions please guys!
you may have been following the DTV thread and the possibility of Stobarts becoming the operator ?
Any observations on how they have done running SEN?

When we reach the peak of S19 there will be 30+ departures every day.
Before Stobart arrived there was 1 per week.
The corporate savvy have many reservations, but the physical transformation of Southend Airport has been truly remarkable.

According to the Sunday Times travel section Southend is the costliest airport in the UK for short term parking charging £4.50 for anything up to 30 minutes. If you need the full 30 minutes don't use Stansted it will cost you £25!. Rip off Britain again!

Parking
As has been pointed out very recently on this thread, short stay car park 5 minutes free and and 15 minutes free in long stay 3. The airport should take these papers to task for misrepresentation of the facts and get them to publish an apology.

So how many of those using the short term can actually pick up or drop off in 5 minutes if there is a queue? The reason it is so short is to maybe catch people out so the airport can pick up a charge.

Agreed, 5 minutes short stay car park probably no good for a lot of travellers but 15 minutes in long stay 3 (very close to the terminal entrance) should be ample for most people.

Except most people will choose the shorter route. I see the short term used to have 15 minutes free but I guess too many cars could get in and get out in that time.
