Boris backs public consultation on flight path changes
20.01.10
Boris Johnson told a public meeting last night that he backs a public review of new London City Airport flight paths. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) confirmed last month that it will release plans for the new flight paths later this year following complaints from residents in Waltham Forest about increased noise.
Fears that the review could be carried out in private were addressed by Mayor of London at his Environmental Question Time in Ilford, where he backed the calls for a review in public. The CAA has said the take-off flight path is needed to cater for the increased number of planes using the airport. The previous proposals were the subject of a public consultation, with feedback the main reason the plans were withdrawn to be revised. It seems odd to suggest that the new plans would not be subject to the same process.
