Airport seeks legal clarification on night flying

[JRP]

I wrote to Spencer Stokes probably the head of the group we won’t name twice, had a response first time but then he never replied to my reply to him, and have since wrote another email to him again with no response, he probably sick of people getting at him ha ha
I will write to BBC aswell keeps them busy

Did anyone get to todays meeting in Cookridge, I assume we will get a one sided reponce from the group we won’t name and they chums Spencer and Alex

It seeems you have to have a Facebook account to view the "stream" To misquote a famous witness in a case at the Old Bailey, "I'd rather ski naked down Everest with a rose up my nose" than join social media.
I will rely on an unbiased report from onwe of the Forums memebers who actually got a ticket for tonights
"event" Viva LBA !

Just been a live report on calendar, mr hodder was due to speak at 6:30

Well that’s an hour I’ll never get back! The feed is still on the Facebook site if anyone is interested. Vincent did a really good job and a big up to him for facing off to quite a hostile group.
What comes across is just how misinformed the community are about the airport and it’s obligations!

That’s good that Vincent gave a good showing, if people are misinformed by I guess the clowns from the group we won’t mention and the chuckle brothers of Spencer and Alex maybe the airport needs to be more community active with these kind of meetings, let’s hope he put them in there places

The sad thing is that when the Council approved the new terminal it also approved bringing LBAs night time hours in line (2330-0600). Job done and problem gone away until the terminal scheme was withdrawn taking the revised operating hours with it. Now LBAs back to square one.

They who

I think we know the answer to that......!

 

[Len Fish]

The media will be making it up writing it up as we speak

 

[JRP]

The clown group have put something out on there Twitter page with a few pictures

Sorry put this in wrong thread whoops

 

[Len Fish]

Pictures of the usual protests but won’t get them anywhere because the only thing that can be accepted by the Council is relevant, factual and evidenced facts directly connected to the applications. Banners reading “No more night flights” and “We need our sleep” just don’t cut it.

Amazes me that people buy homes close to an airport, which lets face it, the vast majority will have done, and then they moan about night flights. Oh we didn't know! It wasn't so busy! Blah blah blah.

The airports been an airport since the 50s and an airfield prior to that. No excuse. If they dont like it, go somewhere else.

I've lived near LBA my entire life and in that time, which is a long LONG time, I've never been kept awake by aircraft.

I did made the same comment myself several weeks ago.

The reason the planes keep them awake is because they are listening for them. When is the next one coming, I cant sleep, oh I can hear it and it continues, then they work themselves up and get more agitated!

I too, live to the left of 32 approach and sleep in left conversion with windows open in summer, never wakes me up!

Blah Blah Blah It's the same FEW protesters each time and nothing to do with airport noise.

If the protesters want more flights to operate in the daytime hours then the airport will need a larger terminal to enable that!

 

[JRP]

I just think some of the protesters spend all there sad lives waiting for the planes, they probably can’t sleep on a night for thinking about planes, it’s like a obsession with them, anyway on a more positive note I wonder if Spencer stokes is ion gardening leave as it’s very quiet from him

Nothing on calendar either. Yorkshire Post had an article though.

Some idiot on one of the airport Facebook groups moaning like crazy and stating that West Park is 'fed up'.with LBA. Shame. Well the airports going nowhere so perhaps the whole of West Park had better move!

 

[Len Fish]

That’s the other thing these protestors do, claim they’re speaking for the whole community when clearly they do not. It’s all part of their con trick repertoire.

Put them on the floating boat. The asylum seekers would be happy to live in west park.
Life is too short.

The 4 million people that use the airport can't agree with them. The truth of the matter is the airport has been 24H for decades. The aircraft are proven to be quieter. The new aircraft are significantly quieter. These people are nothing more than NIMBYs and they complain about everything. They'll complain about Supertram when it eventually comes to Leeds.

Trams leave family begging for sleep

In a quiet, mainly Edwardian, residential district of north Manchester, a woman claims she is living in one of the noisiest streets in Britain.

​

The trams register more than 80 decibels with her double-glazed windows open and between 60 and 65 decibels with them closed​
