On the Bromley Council meeting, flightpath residents made it clear to those in charge at the Bromley Council, who were elected to protect them, that the 2016 Noise Action Plan is long overdue but what happened is that once again the decision has been postponed. Councillor Robert Evans told the executive meeting in January that it was “basically obvious that Biggin Hill Airport Limited has not completed their side of the bargain.” Well said, basically since 2015.
While flightpath-residents have complaint about the increased noise and breaches of 1000 feet height, has Mr Winstanley responded: “What our data is telling us is that the noise levels have not significantly increased”, knowing that measurements are not taken under the flightpath in Farnborough & Crofton where the residents live and the planes are the lowest in height. In the very same interview with the NewShopper he said:”Flightpath Watch are just simply not helping residents”.
While Flightpath-Residents want the original 2016 NAP for all incoming flights to R03 is the current approval of a “new instrument approach for Runway 3” designed to ‘add’ capability at both ends of its main runway imminent.
One small victory for the Bromley Green Party at this meeting was, that environmental concerns about pollution arising from the airport is now firmly on the agenda and can no longer be ignored!
