Echo Exclusive: Planning Permission Granted for New Stadium

The Southend Afternoon Echo can today exclusively reveal the exact same story that we posted a couple of months ago.

As there is no news (thefts from sheds are down) and we need to fill our pages, we were going to re-run a negative story, but thought that would appear churlish in light of our recent spat with Ron Martin.

So instead of rehashing a story that an access road still hadn't been sorted out yet (without mentioning the possibility of a compulsory purchase order) that would make it sound as if the whole new stadium project - and with it the future of Southend United - was under threat, we've instead decided to concentrate on the positives and remind everyone that planning permission has been granted. Hoorah!
