A spokesman for Southend Airport said: “The recent temporary fence installation, near Viscount House, is a new preventative measure given recent observations of regular anti-social behaviour in the area.
“There has been a significant increase in litter and contents of ash trays, generating actual foreign object debris (FOD) and we are therefore duty-bound to prevent this ongoing risk to aircraft safety.”
