Campaigners are planning a colourful stunt to protest the “noise ghettos” created by concentrated flight paths at London City Airport.
Protesting outside the Civic Aviation Authority’s (CAA) offices, campaigners are hoping to highlight the impact the flight paths are having on local communities.
The stunt, due to take place on Friday, July 28, is timed to coincide with a review the CAA is conducting into the operation of the flight paths.
HACAN East chair John Stewart, said “Friday’s stunt is a fun action with a serious purpose. We want to get across to the CAA just how much grief has been caused by the concentrated flight paths. In effect, noise ghettos have been created.”
