Over the last few weeks, Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP and I have been running a campaign against Edinburgh Airport’s new plans to change its flight paths and route aircraft directly over Queensferry

You can see all the information about the proposals here.

I’m delighted to say that over 900 local people in Queensferry have now signed our petition.

It’s a great total and really shows the concern over the airport’s plans.  After all, there are other options which would route aircraft over less populated areas.

The petition is still open.  Any further help you can provide to encourage residents to back this campaign is greatly appreciated.

A public meeting has also been organised for next week.  This will allow residents to discuss what more the community can do before the airport’s consultation deadline on 30 April 2017.  Here are the details:

• Flight path public meeting
• 7pm, Tuesday 28 March
• Echline Primary School, Bo’ness Road, Queensferry

I’m pleased to say our local MSP, Alex Cole-Hamilton will attend and speak at the meeting.

I hope you will be able to come along.  I am keen to give the organisers an idea of likely number of attendees so if you can come then please RSVP here.
