With the implementation of the new Luton Airport stack there is already been a massive increase in noise pollution across swatches of countryside in Cambridgeshire, especially the villages between St Neots and Cambourne. Residents moved to this area when it was not a designated flight path, however the new stack was imposed and it has had a very negative impact. Any expansion to Luton would increase this multiple times over. Especially at a time when looking into the future we should be seeking ways to protect our environments and reduce our use of fossil fuels (of which air travel is a significant contributor), should we not be seeking to build the domestic tourism in the UK as opposed to expanding another airport. This would strengthen our economy and equally play some small part in the UKs approach to environmental stewardship.
