There was a debate in the House of Commons last week about Luton Airport which I am surprised everyone here missed. The above mentioned MP’s were lining up to put across their concerns about the airport while the 2 Luton MP’s didn’t bother to attend so there was no counter argument. There was some support for the airport put forward by the Aviation Minister though who came across as being a little weak.
The planning application should be heard next month where the airport owner as the planning authority will approve the application. The Labour members and one Tory will vote in favour of the application while the Lib Dem’s will vote against it. This application also included breaking agreed noise limits.
Democracy at its worst where the Council has a vested financial interest in seeing that the application is passed. In fact I have heard that the Council asked the concessionaire to put the application in so that the Council can approve it.
