Newmarket Council raise Stansted flightpath concerns
04.05.08
Newmarket Town Council has backed the growing campaign against proposals which could see planes waiting to land at Stansted Airport ‘stacked’ over some of the town's most important stud land, the Journal reports.
At a meeting last week, town councillors agreed to submit an objection to the National Air Traffic Services plan, which could see planes put in a holding position over South Cambridgeshire, close to Newmarket.
Councillor Richard Fletcher said if the proposals were accepted, the result would be devastating for Newmarket's ‘tranquil environment’, which has made it ideal for racehorse breeding. He warned that some of the area's most prominent stud farm owners might even consider moving their operations away from the region.
