Edinburgh Airport Flight Path Trial, Lack of Community Consultation
- Submitted by: Neil Findlay, Lothian, Scottish Labour.
- Date lodged: Monday, 24 August 2015
- Motion reference: S4M-14018
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 10 September 2015
That the Parliament notes with concern the trial being carried out that has changed the flight path for Edinburgh Airport; acknowledges what it understands is widespread concern from the communities in the trial flight path about an increase in aircraft activity and residents experiencing sleep disruption and enduring noise pollution as a result; expresses further concern at reports of a complete lack of consultation with people in these areas prior to the trial taking place, and notes the calls for the airport's management to halt the trial and to carry out a full consultation with all of the communities affected.
