Rochford’s [Southend's¹] Tory councillors must think they are the bees knees.

Not only do they feel not able reveal the results of the so-called ballot asking residents what they wanted in relation to the extension of Southend Airport, but they also say only Tory members of the council can vote on the issue. What a stitch up that is!

I only hope someone who truly represents us will have the guts to stand up and insist voters have the right to a legal voice against airport takeover of our rights as individuals and still expect our undying support.

No one except its supporters, the minority, wants this monstrosity.
