A good summary there.....I am pro-airport in many ways but this current Council needs to be held to account. Those who simply support expansion at any cost need to realise that if this was any other major UK airport the situation would be far more balanced and local residents would at least have a local Council who might actually listen!
As someone that worked at the airport for 20+ years and understanding the complexities of local Govt, it shocks me to see the apparent disregard for local people exhibited by a borough council intent on listening to consultants with very little big airport experience allegedly.

Anyway, what does a bear know about aviation in York.
