Leeds Bradford: Airport Application To Amend Night Flying Quota Methodology

[Aviador]

It’s almost as if the portal is designed to discourage you from using it. It really is a shocking piece of computer software.

I have just tried again and it says server unavailable 😕 🙃

Try doing it by email instead then. Asblong as you give your name, address and the reference number and ask that your sipport is logged, you should get an email acknowledgement.

It has actually just accepted my response after trying one last time.

Got my wife to add her support but took us over one hour to get it done. Registration was the hardest bit, Its a though they are trying to make it as hard as possible to for people to comment. I just wonder if you tick the button to support the application it goes into some sort of 'I'm not going to let your comment' mode as those opposing the application are romping away going by the scores of the doors.

Despite me commenting for Project Sky, it had no record of my account. I had to register again although to be fair, having done so, I got the email with the link to click on (activating the account) within 5 minutes. I logged on again and commented within the allotted 20 minutes. It is far from user friendly and clearly very unreliable. It's probably struggling to cope with the rapid influx of opposition which I strongly suspect is student related. We saw that last time. Without them there's no way they submit over 200 opposition comments in 24 hours.

I imagine also, given their connections to other like minded groups, they’ve cast their net far and wide to ask for objections to be made via the portal.

As they did last time, with opposition from as far away as Southampton.

Thats brilliant.



Its encouraging to see members are making the effort.



Shame that, judging by the overall tally other enthusiasts websites are doing very little, despite having huge memberships.

Much like the arguments raised by objectors, the overall response indicates that the vast majority of the local community remains unconcerned. This absence of broad public opposition weighs heavily in favour of the Council signing off on the application.

I assume before the airport put in this planning application, they held talks with the clownsal on a positive way forward?

Pretty sure they did.

It looks like the airport has now come up with a template for staff to fill in and send to the council, as one has been sent to a friend this morning.

Just sent my support for the application via letter with the links in the post LBA have just added on their Instagram page. VERY easy and took less than 5 mins to do.

I’ve also shared it with a dozen or so friends who all use LBA for their holidays and I know they’ll support the application using this easy method.

I was lucky as the registration and validation took very little time at all.

I've just received an email from the airport asking for my support. Currently on holiday but will add my two pence worth when I return on Sunday, I'll get my wife and daughter to do likewise.

I shared the LBA post with 40 friends via Facebook & Instagram who I know use LBA. Within 2 hours 7 have so far submitted their support via the link. Every little helps

 

[JRP]

I sent the post on to loads and a few have said they have filled it in support

 

[White Heather]

I have forwarded to friends and family earlier. Hoping most, if not all, add their support.

Did anyone else have to go through hoops to watch the video? I had to go through Vimeo's age verification checks!
