After reading the documents provided by Luton Rising I still have concerns regarding excess noise and pollution over my house and Stockwood Park. They are as follows: a) Increased frequency of flights during the day making it more difficult to enjoy spending time outside in my garden. b) Increased frequency of flights overnight leading to disturbed sleep. c) An upturn in pollution levels generally but more specifically in my local area, including Stockwood Park which is a lovely green space which is constantly under pressure and directly under the flight path. d) Extra traffic in the area making it more difficult to move around locally. I am from Luton and have lived close to Stockwood Park, with the airport as my neighbour, for nearly forty years. I use the airport and see it as an asset to the local and wider economy. But this proposed increase (over 70%) in passenger numbers and the further development and expansion of the airport infrastructure has me worried.
