Camden noise group
Time to get on the front foot, methinks;

It has become hell. This morning I had 46 planes come over from 10.10am to 11.10am doing circuits over my house
Perhaps if they had not closed Hoxton Park then the noise would be better shared?

If the squeaky wheel gets the oil, perhaps it is time we pilots made some serious noise. A concerted and persistent letter writing campaign to local, state and federal members of parliament should get some attention. What issues? Developers encroaching on airports, the release of land in established flight paths for housing, the closure of airfields and no new ones being opened within reach of the metropolitan centres. The lack of RAA fields in metro centres. Aviation is an industry begging for revitalisation. On our side of the fence, we need to restore a sense of professionalism even at GA level, and above all - get flying, take your family and mates, get them hooked so when the stinky matter hits the fan, they will stand with us, instead of ignoring aviation as a rich persons playground that they don't care about.
Off soapbox now, don't know what came over me.

Indeed. You buy a house half a mile from the threshold of an aerodrome that's been there for over 50 years and you should know what you're in for.
People need to stop being idiots.

I've got friends who live very close to YMML and have 737s flying LOW over their backyard all the time... if you ask me they dont live close enough. I'd love a house under a flight path. (They're pilots so I'm pretty sure they love it too )

Was talking to a neighbour the other week, we live under the inbound path for a GAAP, got the usual complaint. Anyway, he then went back to his angle grinding

My son used to work in a pub on Richmond Green in London. It's right under the flight path of aircraft on finals to LHR. He couldn't understand why I wanted to sit on the green for half the day watching the activity while I was visiting. The noise wasn't a big issue for the locals, but some of them had a bit to say about pollution (in a city where you can't move for the cars). The older model mobile phones used to play up a bit when an aircraft went over.

Nothing like ignorant journo's writing emotive pieces in community rags.
Unfortunately, the comments at the end seem to unanimously bag the whingers, so I don't think it went over quite the way it was intended.
Also had to laugh that they wanted transponders fitted to the aircraft.
And that's going to achieve what ??? exactly ???

So are they trying to insult us by saying our aircraft are underpowered, or do they really not understand how decreasing noice reduces power even more.
And Pat, that is only two things 
I'm suggesting three things: that outdated or underpowered aircraft be fitted with noise reduction equipment and transponders

OK, here's a couple of thoughts that should apply to anybody, pretty much anywhere;
Airport Managers;
Cry from the rooftops about the economic gains of the airport and it's (hopefully) expansion in activity.
Mention any and all non-aviation activities taking place on the airport. (community groups etc)
Airport Users;
Get together as a group. If you haven't done so, get on with it.
Get the journo to interview anybody who does an angel flight (or similar) job,
Issue a press release about any new aircraft purchased. Emphasis it's low noise signature. There are enough examples of press releases being printed unaltered to suggest it might get a run. Pretty much any new aircraft nowadays is quieter than it's direct predecessor, shout about it!
If you have a hangar/office/paint job/envelope to open, invite your local mayor/mp/busybody to open it with lots of photos and hors d'erves.
What needs to happen is, as crescent stated, some noise in the right direction. By all means lobby mp's, councils etc about airport boundary development, but it's the public noise that makes the biggest difference in the hearts and minds etc.

Scene, military ab initio jet training base. Orders go up on board that all instructors and students are to work Saturday as if it was a normal week day. Unheard of was weekend work, and more puzzling that the only flying permitted would be circuits. Boss had become aware that a land auction for housing slap bang up against the base was to be held.
Just what idiots deserve! If other idiots like themselves hadn't whinged and let developers in to close HOX they wouldn't have a problem! But I guess their own personal universe isn't big enough to see the whole picture. Dopes.
