Interesting link by Buster about keeping people informed by using digital displays. What is not mentioned is that the terminal does not have a single clock anywhere displaying airport time.

New Century Park approved by council, now referred to central government https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...herts-47727649

So the Planning consultant reckons the development is located between Luton Hoo and Someries Castle!!! Really!!

When did Century Park become New Century Park?, surely the NEW part only came about when the plans were shown for the Airport expansion so how can this be approved already?

Spanish eyes you make the assumption that everyone objected to the airports application. You are wrong! Most people here in Luton want the airport growth to support jobs for todays unemployed and future employment possibilities. You equally give the impression that Wigmore Park has been around for ever when in fact it was waste land until its development during the late 1980s. Subsequently three quarters of Wigmore Park to this day is still under used unless under age youths driving motor bikes illegally are speeding and driving dangerously causing the occasional dog walker to to take evasive action are considered. Here in South Luton aircraft taking off or landing overhead is a normal occurrence and more times than not they go un-noticed by the majority living here. Most of the houses in South Luton were built before Luton airport even existed back in the 1930’s but most of Wigmore was built far later and in fact the area now known as Wigmore Park was built late 1980’s therefore anyone living near there should have realised that the airport like any other business could grow as the years pass by. You quote deception well as far as I am concerned the airport has for decades wanted growth and with growth comes future development and infrastructure. The two come hand in hand. My only negative gripe at LBC and the airports current and former leaseholders is that they never pushed for full growth decades ago!

The term act of deception by the council is correct. Nowhere in the planning application documentation does the word Luton Airport or its expansion appear yet this was the sole purpose of the planning application. The BBC have been taken in as they are reporting that 3000 jobs will be created by Century Park except Century Park was given outline permission only while the road was given full planning permission. The expansion of Luton Airport and its second terminal sits on the same land as Century Park so which is it?

The council announced at a public meeting last year that the average wage at Luton Airport was £36,000 per year. So there you have it, those working in the second terminal in the shops and security and on the new apron will be earning around £10,000 a year more than the national average and for only being on short hour or zero hour contracts.

Good old Luton Council, it can’t be said they ever try to mislead.
