Residents unhappy over Biggin Hill Airport 2012 flights consultation
30.10.11
Residents have criticised a Council leader for failing to address their fears about new early-morning and late-night flights over the borough, the Bromley Times reports. Biggin Hill Airport has applied to Bromley Council, which owns the airport freehold, to allow aircraft activity as early as 06:30 and as late as 23:00, seven days a week for a 10-week period during the Olympic and Paralympic games in summer 2012. Charter flight operators would also be able to charge per passenger during this period.
Although council leader Stephen Carr has announced an extension of a public consultation period over the decision until February 18, action group Bromley Residents Against Airport Development (BRAAD), which opposes the proposals, says that not enough has been done to gauge public opinion.
