The airport has been under investigation since last year
The group’s chair, Clare Foren, said: “Our monitoring found there were more than 600 flights from LBA above the limit for night time flying last summer. Mr Hodder has all but admitted this, so our complaint to Leeds City Council is justified. He also said he was meeting with the council about this at the end of March.
“So we cannot understand why it’s taking the council’s enforcement team so long to make a simple decision. Our complaint was made in October last year, it’s now May, the 2023 summer season is well under way and they’ve done nothing. What on earth is going on?” Ms Foren said the cap had been put in place to limit excessive noise and to protect the health and wellbeing of the airport’s neighbours.
She added: “The rule was designed by the council and agreed to by LBA but it seems LBA has ignored the rule and the council didn’t do proper monitoring. The council still hasn’t done anything to enforce the rule. So it’s left to us, GALBA, to be the grown-ups and take responsibility on behalf of local people.”
