The North Herts & Stevenage Green Party has previously supported LADACAN and Luton Green Party on their efforts to stop the expansion of Luton Airport.
In response to the Government’s decision to allow an increase in capacity from 19 million to 32 million passengers a year, the Luton Green Party said it was “outraged” by the decision, calling it a “move that shamelessly puts corporate interests above people’s lives”. They explain:
“Residents are under constant attack with flightpaths roaring directly over homes, schools, and parks and noise so extreme it ruins lives. Studies prove long-term exposure to noise cuts life expectancy, yet Ministers don’t seem to care. This expansion isn’t progress – it’s a disaster for our community and our planet.”
Residents in the North Herts and Stevenage will also be affected by this decision as many of our neighbourhoods fall under the flight paths of Luton airport.
Local campaign group LADACAN, which has been actively opposing expansion of the airport for many years, has published an analysis of the claims made to support expansion at https://ladacan.org/labour-dumps-environment/
