The following has been posted on the Stansted Google Group this afternoon by Andrew Goldsmith. Please heed his request. Thanks

I (and others) have become aware of a new sign at the entrance to the business park which says ‘Private Land, no aviation enthusiasts beyond this point’.
The wording is totally unambiguous and means enthusiasts must keep out.
As we on the liaison group did not have advance warning I have asked the police / MAG for further information. I am awaiting a reply as the person concerned is off shift until Wednesday, therefore I thought I should bring this to everybody’s attention in the meantime as I understand that some people have already been stopped by the police and warned to stay out or face possible prosecution so they are clearly being instructed to act robustly.
Up until recently MAG and the airport police have been happy to tolerate 'responsible enthusiasts', but some enthusiasts have ignored the repeated requests not to go northside after dark and not to go into the Universal car park etc. Now -and perhaps understandably, MAG and the airport police appear to no longer tolerate any enthusiasts northside. There have even been reports of a person using the Universal emergency staircase to gain better views and photographs which in my opinion is totally irresponsible.
If I get further clarification I will post it as quickly as possible but I personally recommend that for now the bottom line should be STAY OUT under all circumstances.
