Considering the environmental crisis that the world is facing I think that any expansion that involves an increase in the use of fossil fuels is totally irresponsible. The increase in noise pollution would in intolerable for residents under the flight paths. I live under the easterly path and in recent weeks I have frequently had to halt phone calls and been unable to hear Zoom calls. In warm weather triple glazing is no answer to this without air conditioning. The increase in air pollution would exacerbate breathing difficulties and endanger health. While I appreciate the fact that Luton depends on the Airport I think that putting more investment into 'one basket' is short sighted and in the long term not to the benefit of the town.
