  1. Initial consultation was flawed as I understood from my parish council, my MP Jonathan Djanogly and my neighbours that the aims were to do with stacking in peak times 2. Our area is extremely quiet and so we constantly hear noise of the planes flying over. I understand that this will get worse. I can no longer go outside without hearing the planes, especially when they are braking to land. 3. Luton airport is owned by the council and they have been making plans to expand. This was not made clear in the initial consultation which was timed during lockdown. 4. Lack of consideration by Luton Airport in including those significantly affected by their plans i.e. us and their attitude it is a ‘done deal’ is not democratic or lawful. Their noise now affects us on a daily basis and it will get worse over the summer and as the airport expands. We feel we have little power to influences this happening.
