Luton Borough Council have announced that they have halted plans for a proposed expansion to Luton Airport. The expansion had been opposed by local Conservatives at all levels.
Local MP Bim Afolami said, "Since being elected in 2017, I have campaigned against any proposed expansion of the airport as I believe this expansion would have led to unacceptable increases in noise pollution and put pressure on our local infrastructure.
I will now try and get clarification on the Council's plans for the airport and continue to work with the excellent local campaign groups to ensure Luton Airport does not exceed or misreport noise pollution levels."
