Residents living near to Leeds Bradford International Airport are a step nearer to having their frustrations voiced about airport noise, car parking and private flying.
It's been claimed that airport managers failed to publicise a recent consultation exercise on noise issues, with the result that many residents did not get to have their say on issues surrounding the airport on their doorstep.
Lib Dem Councillor Brian Cleasby, who represents the Horsforth ward which lies beneath the airport's flightpath said:
"If you're going to go travel on holiday with a big suitcase, you're ain't going to be standing at a cold, drafty, wet bus stop, waiting for a bus to get you to the aeroplane. You're going to use your car and you've got to go through the nineteenth century lanes of Horsforth and that's what's worrying people."
Today, councillors from Bradford and Leeds are meeting airport officials in the hope of setting up a point of contact for communities to approach in order to express their concerns.
