Councils call for Government to have final say on airspace changes
30.04.08
Twenty council leaders have called for the final decision on airspace changes to be made by the transport secretary instead of the Civil Aviation Authority. The leaders all belong to the 2M Group, which represents a combined a population of more than four million people living in the shadow of Heathrow Airport. They were responding to the NATS proposals for airspace changes relating to Terminal Control North.
The first phase of the consultation primarily concerns Luton and Stansted, with arrangements for Heathrow flights to follow. The council leaders say they are concerned about the lack of any public meetings to explain the significance of the proposals to the communities affected. They have written to Ruth Kelly, the transport secretary, to raise their concerns.
