Lydd Airport Action Group (LAAG)

Are you aware that Lydd Airport is proposing to increase passenger numbers at Lydd Airport from 4500 per annum in 2003 to 2 million per annum in 2011, and to further increase number to 6 million per annum by 2021? This would make the airport comparable to Luton Airport today.

The incoming Boeing 737 passenger aircraft flights from France, Italy and Germany will pass over Folkestone while those from Spain and Portugal will pass over Winchelsea and Rye. All incoming flight paths will then pass over Dymchurch and St Marys Bay before flying over the residential areas of Littlestone and Greatstone at less than 600 feet.

Learn more about the campaign of the Lydd Airport Action Group (LAAG) to preserve, protect and defend Romney Marsh. Members and potential members are invited to the LAAG presentation in Hythe on 23rd August - see http://www.shepwaylibdems.org.uk/events/ for more details.

While the Shepway Liberal Democrats support the LAAG campaign, LAAG is an entirely separate and politically independent campaign group.
