Furious neighbors say that their lives have become a nightmare after the modernization of the airport that has driven 50 jet planes a day to roll before taking off, deep in their gardens.
June Walking, a retiree, said she no longer had barbecues in her quaint garden because of the plane engines that threatened her over scenic bungalow.
Alex and June Carr are also among the victims of the redevelopment of Southend Airport in Esbad. Their attempts to get some peace and quiet on their lawn are marred by the sight of huge pbadenger planes that pbad just a few meters away.
They have lived in Mrs. Marchant's two-door house for 28 years, but they say that "the fumes even force us out for the day."
They live in a row of houses that is right next to a new traffic lane, in which planes run daily, along with fumes and background noises, between 6am and 11pm.
Ms. Marchant says the problem began in November 2017 when the airport – which had been in various forms since 1914 – rehabilitated its "Charlie Taxiway" which is the track used for planes taking off from the runway towards the airport. # 39;.

She says the constant noise and smell of the aircraft's fumes have put her life and that of her neighbors on Wells Avenue into a misery and even claim that it makes her partner sick.
She said that peace and quiet were broken by a plane flying near her house every 20 minutes.
Mrs. Marchant, retired newsagent, said, "You can not argue with someone in the garden because you can not hear it and when we are inside, the closed door, we must pause the TV until the plane has pbaded.
Alex and June Carr try to enjoy their garden, but face jets arriving ashore and take off from Southend Airport.

"I love my garden and I did a lot of gardening, but now everything is spoiled by the noise and the smell.
Ms. Marchant also said she worried about the damage this could have to the value of her home: "Do not worry if you look at a house and that a huge plane is sitting at the back of the garden."
She added: "Every plane is legitimate but it is a nuisance, is it morally correct? I do not know what to do, I did everything.

"My partner's breathing is now worse and my neighbors say that they can not stay outside or open their windows at certain times of the day.
"Yesterday, about 10 people pbaded by and one of them waited about 10 minutes before takeoff and it was incredibly noisy.
"It can not be good for your health.
"We are not against the airport but it is the most convenient and cheapest option for the airport."
The Carr also said they were worried about their health and that of their grandchildren, claiming that they could sometimes even taste the fumes from the engines.
June Carr said, "It hurts our health. I have five grandchildren and I do not let them play in the garden anymore.

The real estate agent added, "The noise can be dreadful even when you're inside with the doors and windows closed, but that's the smell that's really unacceptable and you can even taste from time to time.
