I am very much pleased with the growth of London Luton Airport. It increases jobs, and business in Luton as a Town that has an annual Carnival and a Football Team in Premiere League. The expansion is a key magnet for various investments in our town and the surrounding towns and villages. My concerns are: 1) the expansion also increases the carbon emissions which Luton Rising is advises that by 2040 they will be on zero emissions. Right, currently what do you have or what are you currently doing to reduce the carbon, policies etc. 2) currently, l am affected by the 'noise' of the aeroplanes, how best can this unacceptable noise be reduced more so when we are excited about the expansion of the airport, as the impact of severe carbon dioxide will live with us for many many years. 3) The expansion is good because it creates vast majority of job roles to the Luton Community and diversify business models and this will help us who live near the airport free from various types of burglary, thefts and types of crimes hat we are facing at the moment. 4) I currently have few cracks in my bungalow, will these increase with the expansion of the airport and how best can our houses be sound-proof, is there any other way they can be made sound proof. Currently there is not much a problem, we only hear flights in the night as during the day, noises coming from the main road stops us hearing the noises from the aeroplanes.
