How much more is to be crowded into this corner of Essex.From 'The Peace Of My Garden' I can during the day at any one time see and hear at least 3 high flying jets,then the lower flying comercial jets from Southend followed by the private planes.To add to this we are obviously on the helicopter route both for commercial and military useage.These are low,noisey and intrusive.People in this area generally have stressful lives,with work,travel and at certain times of the day gridlock.Let them have some peace and keep the expansion to a minimum.I also agree with others comments that with the cost of fuel and the fact we are going into recession both commercial and tourist traffic will fall. Stanstead's American flights have ceased for economic reasons and even the mighty Ryanair are reducing flights in some areas.
