Fly parking hits Nottingham East Midlands Airport
24.01.06
A Derbyshire town is being turned into a noisy car park by Nottingham East Midlands airport traffic, according to local residents. A new shuttle service to the airport set up by bus operator Arriva has led to roads in Melbourne being clogged with parked cars.
A residents association said cars were being left in the village to avoid parking charges at the airport - known as fly parking. Brian Canavan, chair of the local residents association, said: 'As the holiday season gets into full swing, more people will come here and use the roads as a free car park. If they leave their cars they can save themselves £100 at a time.'
The hourly Air Link 69 service to Nottingham East Midlands Airport was started in October and runs from before 06:00 until after midnight.
Keith Myatt, communications and media relations director at Arriva, said: 'We have a monitoring team who keep inspect the service and they have found no evidence of people using Melbourne as an airport car park.'
