Don't you just love this council who take hypocrisy to whole new levels. Their main complaint is that the new road will cause extra traffic to pass through the council estates of Marsh Farm causing extra traffic and pollution yet Luton Borough Council propose to use local residential roads in the east of Luton to get traffic from the A1M and A505 to Terminal 2.
Also what they don't mention is that this road they claim they don't want will link up eventually to the new proposed dual carriageway to Terminal 2 from New Airport Way so making half a ring road from junction 10 of the M1 to junction 11A of the M1.
With passenger numbers decimated, the council’s airport company London Luton Airport Limited (LLAL) is no longer receiving air traveller income.
Councillors will be forced to agree to "extremely difficult cuts" to key services unless a desperate plea to the government for £50m emergency revenue funding is successful.
More bull from the council as they have half a billion in reserves they don't want to touch and their airport income is extra income other councils would not get.
