Civil Aviation Bill

I am grateful for the Minister’s response, but the purpose of amendment No. 17 is to draw attention to the fact that the existing voluntary arrangements, particularly regarding blight and noise blight arising from BAA’s proposals for the third runway, are dividing communities. One side of the street is designated and the other is not. One part of Longford, ““The Island””, is not designated, but the top of the road is. There may now be time for the Government to intervene more directly in those voluntary arrangements.
