A CAMPAIGNER against the extension of Southend Airport’s runway must wait to hear whether her latest High Court legal challenge has succeeded.

Laura Millard, from Leigh, a member of the Stop Airport Extension Now group, has applied to launch a judicial review against Southend Council for approving the runway extension last year.

Yesterday, Judge Waksman reserved making a judgment on the application from Ms Millard, who wants permission to mount a full-scale challenge to the plans later this year.

No date has been fixed for him to issue the judgment, expected to be in writing, but it is hoped it will be given in the next few weeks.
