Airport expansion is being given the green light across the UK in the hope that it will deliver the economic growth that the Government is seeking. And Luton Airport is keen to make a huge expansion too, looking for a near doubling of capacity to 32 million passengers per year. Whilst local jobs are promised and many of us love to be able to hop onto a convenient flight to the sun, many local groups are concerned about the environmental and health impacts. One of those groups is the Luton And District Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise.
In this week’s Environment Matters podcast we hear from LADACAN chair, Andrew Lambourne about their legal challenge and why everything could hang on the challenge to expansion of Leeds Bradford airport.
