Airport Residents Group Takes Off

At a meeting on Wednesday 23rd January here at the Warehouse, several of the people who have been involved in the budding airport residents' campaign over the last few months met together to formally set up a residents' action group, following on from the Public Meeting in Lea Hall in October last year.
The action group is now formally set up, though not yet christened - they are working on a name with a catchy acronym!
They will be starting their activities with:
* a recruitment drive around Easter when the airport season really starts
* prior to the local council elections in May, they will find out where the local councillors stand on the issue and get them to publicly commit to this stance.
These actions will be organised at the group's second meeting sometime in March.
For now, the group has decided that contact details remain ourselves at FOE, as we have the resources to provide this. So contact us if you have any questions or wish to join.
