Fury as Southend Airport revamp leaves jets taxxing just 150ft away from pensioner's garden

"I love my garden and used to do a lot of gardening but now it is all spoilt with the noise and the smell."She said she opened her curtains one morning and said to her partner:"There's a bloody great jet in our garden!"She added:"The pollution and smell is awful and it's really noisy.

"Yesterday there were about 10 that went past and one was sat waiting for about 10 minutes before it took off and it was incredibly noisy."We aren't against the airport but this is the most convenient and cheapest option for the airport."Mrs Marchant, who is worried about her property dropping in value, claims she received a letter from the airport telling her to stop complaining about the noise to a forum on its website.

What has being a pensioner got to do with anything? Can you please tell me?

Above 70 decibels is actionable...

Nothing like living the jet set life.😎

Switch the hearing aids off, job done ✅

Somebody wants a claim up 👏🏻💰

Who in their right mind build airports in residential areas or gave permission for homes to be built near airpprts?!

What was there 1st...

And they moan about drones.. Who allows this closer contact with a plane?

Nightmare - get a drone.

you critics on here make me laugh. Have you lot never made a mistake.........haven't we all, at some time, bought a house without realising that theres an Airport attached to it? Well !!!!?

Get that Swedish teenager down there.

They bought a house next to an airport seven years and are complaining about the noise. How long has the airport been there?

Grand kids will love it seeing that

call them crop dusters

how do they cope with noise?

An idea here to start a small business. Buy another house..... rent your existing house to passengers. Cash in....

Appalling

Buys house next to airport and complains about jet noise 🤦‍♂️

To be honest got no sympathy , the airport was already there when they bought the house , anyone who chooses to do that around any airport existing is just plain stupid to complain afterwards

You can’t choose to live near an airport then bang on about aircraft.

YOU BOUGHT A HOUSE NEXT TO AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

I am sure they had their time allowed to protest and submit a formal objection and were told about it, plus the work would have given them a clue as well. Can't moan and complain now!

That would drive me insane .

‘Close to transport links’

The airport has been there for over 50 years if you buy a house next to an airport you can’t suddenly start bleating about it

Go on holiday then!

Miserable gits in this thread having no sympathy for people who live near airports The runway was revamped recently, meaning jets now move closer to the house & the number of passengers/big jets has increased since 2012- likely it was much quieter when they bought the house

If you buy a house near a airport you would have to be dumb , stupid or deaf if you didn’t think you wouldn’t get that noise near you- no sympathy whatsoever you only have yourself to blame for buying a property there -

With the high Volume of their TV's they wont hear a thing

Moan about airport parking charges, moan about getting a taxi to and from the airport now you moan coz you could fall from your bedroom window straight into first class. No pleaseing some is there!!

Late check in.

Lives next to an Airport... Complains about noise?

One day all of Southern England will be an airport

Did they win the house in a raffle? They must of known there was a airport behind them before they bought it

I’d be so happy!!! I live close to an airfield and it’s still not close enough. Can’t afford to buy a house again otherwise I’d buy one right at the end of a runway so I could watch my birds fly

Airplanes , in a airport ?, it's political correctness gone mad.

Save on taxi fares on their next holiday

Don't live next to an airport then?

If you do buy a house next to an airport I’m not sure you deserve much in the way of sympathy?
